yup, I had to loosen my bumper and pull it out a couple of inches and also I had to unbolt the tops of my fenders and pull them back a bit to get my projectors in. You can do it without removing anything but you will probably damage your bumper, or crack the new projector headlamp lens like I did. Anyways I had them in my car for a week, I ABSOLUTELY HATED THEM!!!!!!!! I went through 2 sets of bulbs in a week and they dont light up the road that much. It is a very flat beam of light. I just put my stock lights back in, IMO the stock lights work much better anyways. But I really do like the cosmetic appearance of the projectors.
Hope this helps

Stock headlights

Projectors

I had the Jaguar Eyes projectors, IMO they are all the same except for the housings may look different on a few. I paid 189 for mine and got prompt refund from summit racing a week later when I returned them. I dont know if all projectors are the same but I have never really heard anything good about them except for the appearance.

i've heard from a few people that have the projectors to rip the ground wire out and attach them to the chasis somewhere. i used to have issues where the bulbs would pop every few weeks. i pulled my ground out and haven't had a problem since. you can adjust the beam pattern, mine looks fine and i think its better than stock.

defiantely pull the bumper off. makes things easier and its only like 8 real easy bolts/screws to take off. i've had denji jaguar eyes for over 2 years now and never replaced a single bulb (knock). also used the wiring harness that came with the kit to make the low beams stay on when the highbeams are on. check my sig for pics.
