Requires full removal of the front bumper; Picture 1
Full removal of the headlights; Picture 2
Baking in the Headlights in the oven at 200 degrees for 17 minutes; Picture 3
Prying the headlights apart; Picture 4 and Picture 5
Installing the Halos; Picture 6
Doing everything in reverse including rebaking, remounting the headlight, remounting the bumper, then splicing the power wire in and a turn on lead.

The End Result - Except my car is black....

Im budgeting ~ 6-7 hours for the install, if not, i'll be driving around w/o headlights for a day or two :D

With my track record, whats the chances i'll f-something up?

None really, i've just recently started tinkering with my car... I can now proudly say i can rip out my entire dash, HU, doors, seats and other various parts in minutes now :)

Also, i drive on the highway 90% of the time and figured since my car didnt have DRL's, i'd just add my own :)

So you have no hobbies or any sources entertainment?

Or you simply can't comprehend the subjective nature of enjoyment with regard to a hobby?

no, I just never understood the obsession people have with spend large amounts of $ on a car and then spend more $ to bolt on all these accessories. ::shrug::

Its not my money, so I really don't care either way:)


Currently I have no hobbies when I think about it. Spending time with my two year old son is my main souce of enjoyment. :)
