diy headlihgts, i did it!

i finally did it it took me like 4.5 hours tho, cuz of this crappy snow it was all watery n crap[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] but i didi it! only problem is that now one of the headlight assseblies sticks out a tinny little bit towards the pointy end... i guess once it gets nicer out ill have to fix that, but, it was worth the time becuase now my civic looks sexyer then it was! im just excited cuz this is the first mod ive done by myself! also i tryed to do the throtle adjustment, but theres two different wires, both wiht some slack, i had the car off and depressed the gas pedal and the top one moved, so is it that one you have to shorten?? i thought so, but then the bracket is in the way of the locking nut, how do you loosen it to cut the slack?? thanks!!

congrats! how did your battle with the black goo go? as far as that pointy corner sticking out- thats no prob, you just didnt push the other side of your bumper in enough. its supposed to stick out a lil- just press the bumber some more against the other lights corner.
