SIchodelic · 04-23-2008, 04:12 PM

whats exactly the problem with installation? Have you tried it and ran into a brick wall or you just want help before attempting it?

08Accord · 04-24-2008, 02:32 AM

well i dont even have the headlights yet, basically im clueless on how the whole installation shit works im not very mechanically inclined. the most important thing is the aiming process basically and uninstalling headlight and reinstalling. im really clueless lol

It's not that hard.

Remove the radiator cover (the plastic piece that is over the radiator-has the hood latch sticking out of it). You'll probably have to remove a couple of tabs to get if off.

Remove all the tabs on the bottom of the bumper. Two philips screw in the wheel well (one on each side)

Then pop off the bumper from the sides and then you move back to the front of the car and pull off the bumper.

Locate all the bolts that hold the headlight housing. Should be all you need to do.

Too bad I drove back to San Diego already otherwise I would help you out. My family lives in UC.
