Bought some smoked depo headlights and recieved them today, was just wondering how eays they are to fit!!

I know the bumper needs taking of to fit them, and i found it quite hard to take the bumper off on my last car!! And now i have a Gsi front and GSI arches and they seem bonded together, so how do i get to the screws under the arch where the bumper and arch meets??

Also how many screws need removing and where are they, and how do i remove the bumper without damaging the arch where i mentioned, and how do i put it back on and get the arch in the same place??

Any help much appreciated or someone who would be willing to give me a helping hand who lives local to me??

Cheers

dont need to take bumper off mate,
pull all wires out from the back of them, undo the two screws at the side and top of the headlight and wiggle it out, and then do the reverise to fit them, should take about 20mins to do

60 miles to you may be 5 to me

tbh can be done with bumper on, but i did snap off a mount on a new headlight once when i was lazy

all other times i removed the bumper, just makes it so much more easier to get too
