I got new headlights and tail lights, I wanna do the install myself, feels good ya know? I dont have a manual or anything, if someone could help me, step by step Id be like,"Woah Thanx" :thumb:
 
I would say it is self explanatory if go out an start looking at it. First thing I did to my car.
 
well you may want to include what kind of headlights. If they are halo, they have two wires coming out of the bottom, the red wire goes to the green and white wire on the turn signal connection, and the black wire goes to the black on the turn signal of course. to get the old ones off. take off the fenders. all of the bolts you'll take off are a 10mm. First unbolt the bolts on the top of the headlight. Then you'll need a long extention, with a swivel 10 mm socket on the end, put some type of cloth between the bumper and the socket/extention to prevent messing up the paint. Wedge the socket between the bumper and the light and there is a bolt down there that must be undone(not the easiest to find, but not too hard) once these bolts are out, and the wires are disconnected, the lights should come out. On my car the wiring harness was all crazy for the headlights so what i did is i just broke the bottom of the light to get it out. but sure you could cut all of the wires and put them back together. when you put the new headlights in, it should be pretty easy. Again, on mine the plugs from the stock harness had little ridges going down the sides which i had to remove to make the plugs fit, and if they're halos as well, refer to above for how to set up those wires. when you put the lights in, you can either bolt them underneath with the extention, or use the holes on the back of the headlight housing that line up with holes on the frame of the car(using the holes on the back of the housing may cause trouble with the aim of the lights) plug them in and make sure they work, before bolting back the fenders of course...the fenders may give you alittle trouble going on, just be patient. sorry this is so sloppy, hope it helped
 
My bad, yeah they're halos, Ill try to post pix when I get it done, but for some reason my sig and every other pic I try to post never shows up, anyway thanx for the help, you;re all the sh!t :thumb:
