this is very easy installation you shouldn't have to give away your money trust me i was in the same situation. All you need to do is remove some simple plastic screws at the bottom of the bumper and 2 screws that attach the bumper to the fender on each side. After that, all the bolts will be visible and should be fairly easy to remove. Youll be surprised how easy it is to remove the bumper, i was surprised myself.

Hey guys, i just installed these new halo projectors on my 2001 accord V6 and it is as easy at black said. Simply remove the two bolts that hold the bumper to the fender, remove the plastic screws that hold the bumper to the under carriage, then you find that their are about 4-5 bolts holding the headlight unit to the car. Easy installation, i did mines in under 2 hours. Hardest part of installation is putting the bumper back on properly.

i know what your talking about vtecdragon i just did mines like 30 minutes ago. the bumper was easy to take off and the headlights alos but when it came time to put it back it was kinda hard. but i managed. the only problem now is that the head light has a little gap on the side at the fender which is fine becasue you cant really see it unless you really look at it. i will try and post up some pictures. thanks again for all your help guys..
