Not until someone gets their headlights fvcked up

Not sure if you know this dude, but if you mess up your headlight it's $1000 each to get a new one

I've decided that I'm gonna hold off on doing this for now. Bobo and I are gonna try to be there to help out, but we want to see how it turns out before we try it on our own. The both of us will probably do it on our own later on if all goes well.

I know its $1000 each. I got that. Im not worried about it, I've seen it done before, Im not sure where along the process of pulling the headlight apart you can fvck something up.. I mean, in theory it seems pretty easy.

Again, thats just me. And really, all I need is for someone to show me how to pull off the bumper, thats just about it. Everything else, will be me, and my hands on it. So if I fvck it up, I fvck it up. Im not afraid of it though.

Who's all down to do this mod? DM, you down? Khoi, do you have experience in pulling off the bumper? We need an updated list.

You're only doing it to break the seal (sealant) that holds the headlight together like a clam.

Really? You don't see where in the process of heating them up, pulling them apart, taking out all the components, and then trying to put everything back together you could possibly fvck up the lights?

Burning, melting, or cracking the lens are the obvious first possibilities....

Nope! Not seeing it, sorry. Maybe for you. Not for me, I've installed lambo doors, stereos, alarm components, and other sh1t, and this just doesnt scare me. Sorry.
