You need to REMOVE the bumper. There's a screw in each wheel well, 5 or 6 push pins under the hood, a few more under the car, and 2 bolts under the car to remove the bumper. Then you will see how the lights unbolt.

I think this topic is covered in the FAQ section.

it takes about 4 hours, i think streetz has a good way of doing it now, he did mine, and the reflector is really small. but we had a tough time in the begining...

just make sure your doing it in nice weather

It took me about 2 hours to take the lights out the fisrt time. the second time it took me only about 1/2 hour. NOW....doing the lights and removing the orange plastic took me about 1 hour for each with another friend's help. It actually took me over a week total, since didn't have a heat gun or hair dryer or silicon or tools. I had to buy some of the stuff above. It does LOOK GREAT. The picture on my signature has them clear. I will pick up the pictures I took from the installantion at wallmart tonight and post them later.

For all the peeps in the LA area I would goto a place in Rowland Heights called Robocar. They are GREAT. Talk to Linda and tell her Deep from Intense Velocity sent you. They do bad ass work and can probebly do it for you.
