So I bought these
I've decided that my little candle-like headlights need to go, so I bought these: http://www.slickcar.com/products/317-1134PXUS2.jpg The only problem now, is that I'm going to have to install them. I know there's probably a DYI on it, but how tough is it going to be? I can't even change a headlight bulb on the car because I can't get the freakin thing out!

Yep, there's a DIY. Look for "Blackhousing Headlights With Front Bumper Removal." The hardest part is getting the bumper aligned back up properly when putting it back on. I'd suggest an extra set of hands for that.

Here's the diy, you have to take the bumper off, it's not that big of a deal, it's easier with 2 people to take it off, but especially to put it back on, 2 people is a must.https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-cl-diy-faq-74/black-housing-headlights-w-front-bumper-removal-470662/

Depends if you can turn a socket wrench or not, it's 4 bolts and like 2 screws, really not complicated, just takes a little juggling to get the bumper back on straight. U still dating the dude that was into cars? Make him do it

I just got those headlights like 2 days ago and they look sick. Honestly, get a friend to help you out with taking and putting the bumper back on. Just follow the directions on the FIY and you should be fine. I'll be posting pics real soon.

Almost full pic, i was in the garage and couldn't move back any further...
The damage is from the mask/bra that I put on the car; I took the pics before putting the bottom back on.
I like them; they work SO much better than the nasty stock ones!
Overall, it was a little tougher than I figured, and I have a few "Extra" bolts...but oh well
and my hands are all cut up to hell

I guess they're happy though, sales on these things are def picking up now that they lowered the prices, several members have them now, still can't stand the corners though

One custom CL
lol very easy. Fill the sink with warm water. Add dish detergent. Have inner piece (white in pic) sit in water for an hour or so then scrub off chrome with rough dish spunge. That ivory white is the actual color of the plastic under the chrome
