Hi Joe...

Your owner's manual actually explains it pretty well on the headlights and on the tail lights.

Hint... on the headlights, remove your side marker lights as this will give you more room to maneuver the headlights back on to their respective mounting posts. Be patient. It's really not a toughy.

I have experience with tailight issues. There are only 2 I experienced. The first was the rubber washer didnt come tight with the tailight housing so I bought 2 extra large rubber washers at a local specialty store to suffis the problem. The second problem to look out for is fogging/condensation inside the lense. Be sure to save your receipt!

I did notice one issue with Car Wear(ware?) styleside tails. The outer lenses hit the body before the screws were tight. This caused the lens seal to release and the light to fog up. Also on flareside L tails, the bottom screw needs to be shortened, because they punch a hole into the chrome inner part. I also noticed the gaskets on the bulbs not being thick enough, which The Dude mentioned. I have had fogging problems with almost EVERY aftermarket light I have bought. The only ones that didn't were chrome APC Altezza style tails. Even my Depo headlights fogged up unil I resealed the outer lens with silicone. I'd recommend resealing any aftermarket light before installing. They're just not as good as they should be.,,,,98
