I had to removed the front bumper then removed the screws that hold the headlight. It is much easier to work with when the headlight is removed from the car.

Or just get all the tool/stuff together and do both. Cause you likely have to remove the bumper when U install the HID kit.

Not really. If you only install the HID kit, you don't have to remove the bumper at all. It's plug-n-play.

If U find a good place to install the Ballast and other parts without removing the bumper than great. But in my experience, I had to remove the bumper to get to that good location. Far away from the hot engine.

It was way easier to remove the bumper. It only takes 10 minutes and it is much easier to hide the wires and mount the ballasts. Plus you can remove the headlights to cover the spotters.

So how exactly do you cover the squirrel spotters? do you have to take apart the headlight? thanks.

RoseMobile · 07-26-2008, 01:08 AM

no you just have to remove the headlight from the car and after you take out the bulb theres a flap with a couple of tiny holes before the projecter... Raise up the flap and cover the holes then place flap down or you can remove the flap entirely..... For more info please refer to the DIY link at the beginning of the forum subject "covering squirrel spotters"...
