Alright so a deer owned my headlights and I bought some new ones. 150 for a new pair I dont think it is that bad. Alright I got the old on out easily because it was broken. I tried getting the new one in but its just not going. What do I have to do in order to get those in there?

What do you mean "just not going in"?

did you take the bumper off??? there should be a *METAL* plate on each headlight that u must take off first so they can fit right in....its easy as 123 good luck...

I was afraid of that. I really dont want to take my bumper off. Is it easy to take off? And easy to put back on?

it's very easy to put on and off. use a flat head screwdriver to pop out the inner pin on the 6-7 clips along the top of the bumper. use a phillips screwdriver to remove the single screw in each wheel well. then u se a 10mm socket wrench to remove the 2 bolts holding the bumper on the bottom.

(i don't even know what kind of car you have but these should do it)

Still didn't help but I think it may be beacuse some of the metal gave way with the deer.

The bumper is real easy to take off...it basically consists of 1 screw on each fender, 7 clips between the headlights where the hood meets the bumper, and 2 bolts on the underside of the car.

I guess I am going to have to do it myself. The shop quoted me at $136 to put them in. Thats a little high especially for me I am broke.

$136!! haha, thats a joke. Honestly this shouldnt take you more than 3-4 minutes to have the bumper on the ground. You sound iffy about it but seriously it's a peice of cake. If you need help let me know...

IT'S DONE. SWEEEEEEEEEET. It was damn easy once the bumper was off. Al I had to do was approach it with a clear head. The side where the deer hit was hard but I just pounded the metal with a hammer and made room for the headlight. Other side was easy as pie (sorry for the cliche). Bumper was easy to take off more easy than I thought. Plus I could fix the lip which was hanging. Headlights look sweet. I know the headaches are going to begin once I get out at night. Any info on aiming?

P.S. Can anyone give me instructions on altezza installation? j/k

any info on aiming lights?

EGTeK

there are two screws/bolts on the back of each headight. just dont aim them too low or too high. find a nice wall.. park 40 to 50 feet and the light at the wall shouldnt be higher then knee level or however high the headight is on your car.

YES IT IS VERY EASY TO TAKE OFF AND PUT BACK ON..........MINE TOOK MAYBE 15 MINUTES TO REMOVE AND REPLACE

are they replacement or projecor? 150 is a lot of money for replacement headlights, i got some projectors for mine for 200 installed

bad93ex

Does this work with projector headlights?

hatchback

are they stock? or aftermarket?

JasonBlackEJ1

does what work with projector lights??

JasonBlackEJ1

when they put my projectors in, they had to take off my front bumper and replace the wiring harness, it took him a total of 45 minutes because he had to take off the front and put it back on
