just cleared my headlight

well it was pretty tough for me.
it took me 5 hours. removing front bumper was really easy.
but then i had problems taking out the headlamp. i couldn't take out one bolt.
my hand couldn't reach. i was struggling for 30 min to take out both headlamp.
i started with driver side headlight and about 3 inch long black stuff sticked on the crome part.
i was like fxxk @@@ so i searched on this website to find how to take it off.
i used my mom's nail polish remover. i could easily take it off.
i put everything back on now. it looks so clean.
i'll try to post pic soon.
i'm exhausted now. I DID IT @@@@
yeah@@@

OMF my passenger side headlight bulb blown up in the headlamp.
i could see small pieces of glass everywhere in the headlamp.
i was sooooooo mad. i was using H.I.D headlight bulb without any special harness.
the wattage was 130 or 110 i don't remember.
i had to take the bumper and headlamp again.
damn now i'm using stock headlight. it's really ugly [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]
i never gonna use high wattage bulb again. just gonna use eurolight bulb.

Goddamnit....something bad ALWAYS has to happen right when everything is going good. Oh well, i guess it keeps you from going manic. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
I have PIAA Xtreme White H4's....they're pretty decent and shine a faint blue....plus they're stock wattage. Only problem is that they're like $120...

Yup....I got the same ones...and well....my PIAA's kick some major ***.....and I got them for $105...hahaha..yes !!!!..... And well there is a trick to them...if you hold your like headlight bar....turner on thingy....between...well low beam and high beam...I can make my PIAA's put out some light that is like 2x brighter than HID...the real ones...haha...I was beside a BMW and did it...and wow...I owned his ***.....with my PIAA's...but if I were to drive around like that...then the cops would be on me...real quick....mabey I should do that...but aim my headlights down...hmmmm....

i am using the F1 halogen spec-R and they are nice....and cheaper than PIAA too.
i hate clearing the headlights on sedan...they are pain in the A$$....cuz i have a sedan and it was so much work...i wish my headlights were the one from Coupe and it will save me like 1-2 hrs at least
