    Where the bumper attaches and where it meets the fender you need to get fingers behind that edge and pop out the attaching points. Almost like clips the way they attach to each other.

    You sure you got all 6 pins from the front out and both screws from inside the fender wells out.

    Also make sure where the top pins came out, on the front top of bumper, that the bumper is not hung up on something there.

    Finally got it done, still don't know what the hang up was on, but eventually it popped free and got lights installed. First impression, great for the cost, still think I will eventually do my own retro on my OEMs so I can upgrade projector etc. Thanks for the replies when I was stuck

    I planned mine out. Took my sweet time. Disassembly went easy. Then had a flare clip pop out and took forever to get it back in place. Nothing is ever as easy as those videos.

    I love my xenon depot hid kit. Phillips 4300k bulbs in mine. The throw from side to side is awesome. I have mine aimed a little high, I know, but no one has flashed me yet so fuck it. The car in the pic is 30/40 yards ahead & on a very dark road, no other light. Love it:

    What are most people doing with their stock lights? Selling? If so, what are they going for?
