Nice job on the headlights!

I hope mine turn out well when I black them out in the summer.

Nice DIY...I can't believe you wrote this last month and members are just commenting on it now. I've taken my bumper off at least 10 times and this is one that I keep in my subscription. Also there is a video on youtube with the similar steps.

Thanks Guys, I'm glad this thread help you folks and @Donnieb83 thanks for posting the video, bcuz I had some people asking me to crop all the pix. And write everything step by step, so I told them this is all pretty much step by step, so I told them to go search on YouTube n that is the exact same video I learn to take off my bumper, I was just bored n figure I minus well do a thread since alot peeps. R questiong on how to take off bumper, change lights bulbs etc etc..
@kevinballer08 Thanks about my headlights & G/L on yours my best opinion for u when doing it is u must have alot of patients, trust me just take ur time when breaking the seal, also measure ur oven b4 throwing it in, Bcuz I came across on the web that some people headlights doesn't fit in their oven.
