Not sure if this is right area.

Ive searched and read the threads and seen the you tube videos but my question is it possible to swap the headlight housing without removing the front bumper? It didnt look possible based on what I saw in the videos but I wanted to make sure before I start the project. If so can someone do me a solid and drop me a link to a DIY if it can be done without removing the bumper?

impossible.

there are bolts that are hidden by the bumper..

How can I tell the authenticity of a canadian a spec headlight? Anyone on here know a part number? The part I got has a US partnumber and theyre in their original box but are blacked out like an a spec.

Ill throw some up tonight when home.

From all the pics I have seen on this forum and for sale ads they look right but Im just questioning if they werent just opened and painted as the 2 part numbers on the boxes map to US part numbers; 33101-S0K-A12 and 33151-S0K-A12 and as I understand it these were Canada only parts. What Im trying to identify are 3 things: were the lights initially sourced from the US for the A Spec, are there any markings on the light that would define it as Canadian a spec and if someone has the a spec part number.

From the ad..ill post one when i get home

I guess no one has answers to my questions after pics still

The more I look at these the more I think I got took. Oh well should have went with my gut on these and passed got the bumper off no sense letting these collect dust might as well install the terds

Hello, I don't really have an answer to your question. I was wondering how the headlight beam came out with these. I got some off brand housings and they don't shoot right. I wanted some black housing, but I just got normal ones and tinted them. But that stint was too dark so couldn't see at night when It rained. if you like then could I get a brand name? All the part number brought up was chrome housings. Thank you!
