^^ i used that also but dont use the compund he did in the video just stick to the 3 mentioned in the tech articles on here. Plast X is the best one.

 

I will definately use those videos for reference guides

p.s. I love coming home to things like this

 

so, I am considering adding some silicone sealant to the headlights to make sure they are sealed nicely.. anyone know of some how to guides? I didn't find anything in my searches

 

^ thats a good idea and alot of people recommend to do that anyways.

 

our body style lights seem to seal pretty well actually, even most of the aftermarket ones (exception being the 1-piece projectors).

 

interesting, so should i not worry about sealing them even more?

I am currently at this part



Trying figure out how the headlights come off, havent looked much at them yet because just got the grill off..

If I have HIDs should i get rid of the middle thing on the l heads? The reflector thing infront of the bulb

 

Not sure about the projectors but you didn't have to pull your grill off, the headlights have pull tabs on them takes about 10 min to change them out for future reference. I have those heads and they are sealed good no need to add more imo

 

Well I am going to paint the honey comb while im here and might just do the top of the bumper too..

pull tabs, those the 2 switches on top? I pulled those up but afraid to just yank the headlights out but not sure if thats what im supposed to do or not.

 

Yeah just pull the tabs up and wiggle the lights out, you can see on the new ones where the tab locks them down

 

Leave that shroud on there. Your light output would look horrible without it ha.

Behind the headlights there will be two thin black metal bars that have a 90deg bend at the top. Pull those straight up to release the headlights.

 

I feel like the switch isnt pulling up far enough?

 

youll have to pull pretty hard sometimes. it shouldnt break tho. if you didnt hear a loud pop and bust your knuckles on something its probably not all the way off lol.

try pulling up and pushing the tab away from you at the same time if that makes sense

 

also just making sure, there are two of those tabs on each light.

 

oh wow.. that did the trick.. that was TOO easy.. thank you!

 

no problem. im sure you feel better ha.

now comes the really fun part of putting the new lights in (i hate this part)
