On a 2G, Yes. Dunno about a 1GA, most likely on a 2GB... yeah.

For the record, I did not remove my headlights.

For the record, I did not remove my headlights.

Did you install them on the corners? And cut the bolts before you installed them? Or did you drill holes in your headlight housing? How else did you get under the headlights to tighten the bolt at the bottom? I'm curious...

I didn't remove my headlights to put hoodpins in. It was a bit tricky to get them where I wanted them but I'd rather them be where they are versus all the way in the middle. Here is a pic.

Ah, it makes sense as to why you didn't have to remove them. If you install them where my hood pins are (out towards the fenders), you have to take the headlights off.
