2 Questions Guys

1. After u clear your headlights, does your stock turn signal bulbs light up white or amber? Where I live, the car is required to have amber turn signal and before I clear mine I need to make sure they're amber or I'll have to buy amber-colored bulbs first.

2. Is it possible to get the headlights out without taking off the bumper?

Thx [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

You can just buy amber bulbs.

You dont need to remove the entire bumper. You can just pop off the top clips under the hood, and then remove the bolt in the fender wells....you then pull the bumper out from under the headlights and fold it down....You can then remove the two screws that are hold ing the metal bracket on under the headlight and the top screw that is holding the headlight on....

They will light up yellowish. Not as white as the stock headlight. If you need orange bulbs... APC makes amber 7443's and LEDs that should keep you legal. I'm sure there are others, but I know of those.
Yes you MUST take the bumper off. it isn't hard. maybe a 15 minute job. You'll prolly need a socket extention to get the bolts under the headlight off. The right one was easier than the left, so do the right first.

Exactly what he said. If you want hyper white bulbs, you can get them at www.autodynamic.com

No need to take off your full bumper... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Don't be afraid.
