The lights are awesome, quick question on the clearing out process? Did you do it yourself or did you have it done by someone? And so far have there been any problems like a no tight seal letting moisture or water or anything of that nature in the head lights?

Can you throw out more details of the process like the steps I need to take and how long to wait or do each part? I never done it before and the analogy of doing it like that of a Civic doesn't help cause I've never seen a Civic done either.

Big-v,

How the hell did you do that, is it a different front lens, or was there a piece you removed from the inside?

Re: replacing side marker/parking bulbs
I've read the manual of course but
taking the two plastic screws out just doesnt cut it, it looks like I have to totally mutilate the inside fender molding aside to make room for my hand to reach alllll... the way inside, which is a pretty deep reach.

Thus, I chickened out..


I dont wana bend it beyond a "point of no return" where the plastic molding won't bend back into original shape; if that happens all sorts of shit like puddles of dirt/mud can get in there

Did you guys take out 3 plastic screws instead of 2 mentioned by the manual?
Or is there another magic trick to this?

my M-14s and M-4s are jus sittin there doing nuthin

Would appreciate some help. thx.

KavexTrax - Don't worry about the plastic...it goes right back into place. I actually took 4 plastic screws out. I turned the wheel to the right when changing the left side and visa versa to make some more room. Just push and twist to get the bulbs out. Good luck.
