Not much but I needed new headlights so I ordered a pair of stock 01-04 lights and so new ultra white 9007 bulbs. I also ordered 1" wheel spacers. Total cost was 260 shipped. Not to bad, it should clean up the look with the lights and the spacers will set off the rear with my 255-45-17s? I will post pics when I get everything on. Oh one question, how do you remove the fog lights?

That's not good. I wanted to just take them out. One of them is burnt out and I havn't used them in about 2 years.

No need to remove the bumper!

I did mine no problem when I swapped them out for new ones. If I remember correctly there was only one 10mm screw/bolt on each side, and they snap in at one point on both sides.

Provided, I am a tech with lift access, but it should be manageable.

you guys must be giants. I got under my car's bumper, stuck my hands in there, and changed the bulbs. All this without lifting up my car or taking off the bumper.

The bulbs are easy, its taking the casing out that a PITA. I bought smoked fogged lights, spent 3 days trying to get the 3 hex bolts out of each one, while under the car just feeling around for the bolts. With one bolt left, it stripped trying to loosen it. I put the other two bolts back in and figured out the the light casing pops in and out of the holder that was screwed in. Figures.
