You should def wash that ***** before putting it up. That way if you wreck your acco. you don't have to drive around ghetto. And all those bugs and **** will spot you bumper since it is white.

wow, the front end looks great. it would be sweet for you to put a halo around the turn signal areas of the headlights too.

lol i moved my no-bumper car outside, also kicked my cousin's car out of the garage so i could spray paint~ dont worry, u dont have to take off ur bumper to take out the lights.
hey...saw this write up and was curious as to how the heck you took out the headlights. I know you have your bumper off...but you said that there's no need to take it off to remove the housing.

i had a hard time take out the headlight housing and was unable to do so at the end.

can someone give me tips on how to remove the housing, or would removing the bumper ease the removal?

thanks in advance!

you dont need to remove the bumber. pull the headlight out at an angle. with inner side out first look under the headlight its just barely in there cause if the bottom, push down bumber down just enough so you can slide the headlight. i had a hard time getting mine out the first time, but now i can get them out in seconds.

thanks for the reply..although i notice you have an 03 OZ....I can tell that those seem to be easier to remove than 04+

I'm interested in getting an 04+ headlight out. I'll probably have to wait til next Satruday to try it again. I hope by then someone would have some more ideas on how to take it out.
