Default projectors

Just sold my Integra, and got me an 06 si.
It came with aftermarket projector headlights, and aftermarket taillights. I got the originals from the dealer, because the projectors low beams don't work.
Is there anyway troubleshoot the projectors?, (and if I was to change out the headlights, would I need to remove the front bumper?)

Any input is appreciated

Yes, bumper removal is required.

I'm guessing it's a 3 hour job, is there anything I should look out for? I searched, and found a write up, just wanted if anybody here had some personal input on the subject

It might take that long for the first time.

-Remove grill
-Remove bumper
-Remove bracket under the headlights (putting this back on might be the toughest part)
-Remove headlights

trust me stock is your best option unless you do a retrofit which is very good also!
