I just bought those JDM's and they look awesome, I just need to install them now -_-Anyone have some tips on the easiest way to install them? I've heard I need to remove the front bumper to access the bottom mounting brackets, not sure if this is true though. If anyone has replaced their headlights before any tips would be appreciated.

was uP fellas, yea the bumper needs to come off, and the bolts holding the light are kind of hard to get to ( maybe cuzz my hid ballester is there) make sure you have a extention for the wrench, i had a big time problem with my KIT cuzz the windsheild wiper fluid container was blocking the way, didnt let the light sit in its place correctly it was off by about a inch, i had to cut the windsheild wipper container (it was plastic) and shorten it, then blow torch them back togheter just way lower, to give me the clearance i needed for the light to sit in perfectly, YES it was a big time headace and time cunsuming, but at the end it was worth it, my lights lined up straight and it looked good.. I highley unlikey you will have this problem, my TSX projection kit is rare, i had to send my lights to florida,(i live in la) they did the work there and sent them back 3 weeks later. www.customlightz.com

I have the projectors, but i think they both look good, its hard to decide

as for taking the bumper off....

i didnt take mine of when i did mine, but it was kindof a pain, i just took the screws out of the bumper by the wheel well and held the bumper out and got at the bolts from there, and i had to wheasel theheads back in there.after doing it the wrong way i will definetly take the bumper off the next time i change them, as far as comparing the level of difficulty of wheaseling to taking the bumper off... can say untill i've done it both ways
