    I replaced the old nasty fogged over headlights on my Fiance's 2002 and it looks soooo much better now.

    However, they wiggle a little bit. They only have 3 bolts, which all go in one place. It's a mistake-free install you can't get wrong. But the way it clicks in the lights have a little room to wiggle for adjustment. After adjusting a little they still wiggle more than expected.

    Is this normal? I didn't check the originals before pulling them out.

    Holy hell.. I just got the same set for $899 out the door from Tire Works on labor day, and thought I had found a decent deal. 5 year included. Guess not. ;(

    A couple of the lights on my third brake light went out so I used it as an excuse to upgrade to a tinted, LED one. Not worth it! I had no idea you have to pull the headliner and therefore the interior plastic out to replace it haha. However, its in now and doesn't look half bad. Wouldn't do it again in hindsight though.

    How do you pull the headliner down around the rear window?

    Shouldn't this LCA bolt be facing the other direction?

    You have to pull all the interior plastic panels out in the back and then it pretty much just pops down.

    How would you get the bolt past the steering rack? Its too long so it is slid from the other direction.
