Yea it's super easy to pull off the bumpper. I think like 2 10mm 2 phillips head screws and some clips in the grill. no biggie. And I just wired H.I.D's on my car and they are also easy cake. You'll enjoy your car a lot more knowing that you made it what it is now instead of paying some nerd at a pep-boys or car-x or something. lol

Straight up V8. I get so much more satisfaction knowing I do the work myself. And my pocketbook likes it too. You could end up paying nearly as much as you could buy tail lights for. So you could either just put your headlights on at a shop, or at home you could put on both headlights and tail lights. You tell me what is unethical?

lol, sorry, that was an Office joke. Anybody get it?

P.s. - posted a link for you on the first page of this thread.

alright alright fine. you guys convinced me. i will try to make a man out of myself and do this on my own. i will be purchasing a bumper within the next week after i keep on looking around for the kind that i like.

if a good amount of people can do this with the proper tool box then i don't see why i can't

I applaud you. You'll be happy you're doing it yourself like 5 minutes in. You'll think, "those guys were right, why did ever even think of paying some schmo to do this for me."

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

It's actually a phillips head. Down in one of those little holes on the radiator support. Should have a little gear around the screw if you look down there with a flash light. Besides, HIDs are not supposed to be in that headlight housing anyway, so it may look a little weird and be a little hard to adjust to begin with.
