i received a set of jdm headlights for Christmas and was wondering if anyone had a walk trough or any tips on installing them. Am i going to hav to remove the bumper? anything that i should look out for?

 

whats your car ( make, model, year)?

I've done this job on EG , withOut removing the front bumper ( i just remove the corners screws and bolts, and "stuff" the headlights in there)
Installed properly, No problem at all

tricky ( try not to scratch the paint, used masking-tape, or some sort of thick tape ), but its do-able , saves time.

Yes, you need to remove the bumper. From there, all the bolts are visible and self-explanatory.

 

sry its a 99 civic ex coupe, actually its in my sig

 

If you ( i was once) never done any bumper removal /replacement,
I suggest that you better remove the bumper completely ( do it right, or not at all)

then, after you got the hang of it, u can do my trick ( previous post above)

so you won't have unnecessary headache

 

ok thanks... so just remove the bumper and all the screws are visible... doesnt sound very tricky... thanks alot guys

 

There are 2 bolts under the bumper and 1 bolt at each end of the wing. Pop out the 5 popper screws holding the grille in and gently pull the bumper with the grille out.

 

thanks a lot guys anything else would be appreciated i will keep u updated
