WTF, is this supposed to be easy? I bought a complete headlight set with clear corners, and half the bolts on the lights are hidden and under the fender and impossible to get to? how the fuck do they expect you to get these out?????

I think before you install clear corners or altezza's you have to taser yourself in the nuts. Didn't you get that with your kit ? No? I'm sure it was just an oversight. Here, I even have a taser you can borrow.... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

for a serious answer, you'd be surprised what a 1/4 inch mini socket set can reach. They're like $20 at sears

people, this is virtually impossible. the two middle inside lights (closest to grill) have two bolts to losen. One on top (which we got), and one on the bottom (which is absolutely impossible). im clueless

As long as you didn't poke the radiator(causing a leak), you are fine.
And, Im not sure what's so hard about installing the clear lights.

well then dude maybe you can show me whats so easy, because to me being used to me 99+ lights just popping off from a few plastic pieces going to this where there is fucking 3 screws to one light and its impossible to work your hand around the ones deep in, it just seems hard ![[Confused]](confused.gif) . Update is i got all the original lights off, and im not sure if i myself can put the new ones on.

If you had lights, I'd tell you to come down here...but by now, it's a lil dark to drive without lights.

I did my clear light headset the bottom ones you have to get on your back under the car to reach them. Its VERY hard if not impossible to reach at least 4 of those nuts from the above the engine bay. Drive on up to Chico Ill do it =)

Go buy a set of "Gear wrenches".
I can get the all 6 lights out of the front of mine in less than 5 minutes
The wrenches have box ends and ratchet
You can get them at Napa auto parts
Good Luck

Not to sound like a dick but anyone that can't change all the headlights with a 7/16" or 11mm craftsman open end wrench shouldn't be touching their car. I've done at least 7 sets with only one wrench.

Sometimes it's best to step back from a project for a while. It's amazing how a simple project can turn into a huge chore when you get too worked up.
