Required tools:

Heat Gun or Blow Dryer (I use a blow dryer)



Pair of Gloves



10 Zip Ties (not really necessary if u know what u doing)



Silicone Sealant



Needle-Nose Pliers



Flat blade Screwdriver



Phillips Head Screwdriver



10mm Socket Wrench



12mm Socket Wrench (to remove the bumper if u choose)

Step 1

(u could jack up the car and remove the wheels, but u dont have to)



Remove the fender covers (or just bend it back)

Step 2



using a 10mm with a long extension, remove the bolt that connects the bumper to the fender (it is all the way towards the front of the car, only access is through the fender covers)

Step 3



Remove the bolt that connects the bumper to the fender right at the wheel well

Step 4



Remove all clips and bolts under the car that hold the bottom bumper lip

Step 5



remove Grilles (94/96 - there are 2 screws per grille) (97/98 - there are 3 clips per each grille which have to be removed from the inside)

Step 6



(94/96) There are 2 10 mm bolts that hold the bumper to the t-bar behind the grilles


(97/98) There are 4 bolts on the upper side that hold the top of the bumper to the header bar

Step 7



there are 4 plastic screw clips that u have to pry up using a flatblade to get the bumper shell off

step 8



Remove the bumper shell (be careful because ur signal light wires are connected there, either remove them before u take off the bumper shell or leave them on, and there is a clip in the back of the lights that u can remove)

Step 9 (optional)



using a 12mm remove the 4 bolts holding the bumper onto the car (the bolts are located under the highbeam light on the bumper (if u have OEM fogs, u must remove them to take off the bottom bumper bolt))

Step 10



using a 10mm, remove the bottom 2 bolts of each headlight, the easier one is located by the horns, the harder of the 2 is located behind the bumper which makes taking off the bumper worth while

Step 11



remove all the bolts holding the tbar/header bar onto the car, there are 3 in each corner, one above the headlight (by the highbeam)

Step 12 (kinda tricky)



the t-bar/headerbar makes a slight L-shaped angle behind the bolt by the highbeam light on the top of the headlight, what u have to do is kinda move the headlight out of the way so u can fit the 10mm to the bolts, there are 2 of them on each side

Step 13



Remove the T-bar/header bar slowly, cuz u can scratch ur paint at the egdes where the t-bar meets the fenders

Step 14



there is a main clip for power for the headlights, remove that and the side marker bulbs


remove the headlight assembly

Step 15


Take the headlight assembly, starting with the corner remove the screw (also remove the clips that go around the headlight) and begin to heat ur headlight where the black plastic meets the clear lens (take ur time, do not rush this)

Step 16



Once the factory silicone is soft use a flat blade and begin to pry the headlight assembly apart. **note: U can pull the entire assembly apart, or u can open it only at the corner, if u pull it all the way off, u just pull the orange piece off, if u just open the corner, once it spreads there is another philips screw u need to remove, once that is out, the small corner lamp assembly will be loose

Step 17



using ur screw driver break out the orange piece and use ur flatblade to hold it so u can grab it with ur needle nose pliers, Pull the orange piece out, be careful that it doesnt break, if it breaks it'll just take that much longer

Step 18



Fit the corner lamp assembly back in place and put back the philips screw

Step 19



re-heat the factory silicone, and Fit the headlight back together, once the silicone begins to dry u will need to just apply pressure to the 2 parts to hold it tight, once it drys, take some fresh silicone and reseal the ENTIRE headlight (if u lamps fogged before, this will solve that problem)

Step 20



reconnect that outer screw to the headlamp assembly and wait about 5-10 min for the silicone to dry

Step 21



Re install headlights and get some hyper white bulbs for them corners

Step 22



Give urself a drink for ur job well done
