I got a new set of headlights from 50resto, and i was looking on how to install them and there are no threads about it at all, i searched. Anyways how do you go about removing them? Does the bumper cover have to come off? I have no idea, so if anyone has any pointers, or a website please post it thanks.

no bumper has to come off... just pop ur hood and its right there... there are 3 bolts i think on each headlight and 2 bolts on the side marker lights... its just like changing ur headlight bulbs... there is enough room to get ur hands in there and work... pretty straight forward

disconnect ur light bulbs then just take off the bolts and they will all slide right out with the adjustment plate attached with the headlights then u take that off..

also i would seal ur headlights with something so no water gets in... i used 100% clear silicone all around the edges just to ensure no water gets in... this is so u don't have to do the job twice!
