Angel eye install question.
Anyone who has replaced there angel eye bulbs could you lead me to some instructions on instalation as I am at a loss. I have heard it takes ten mins and I also have been told you have to take the fender off and part of the bumper to do it. Thanks in advance.
If anyone in the cincy area or a hr or two drive from there knows how to install these lights and is willing to help. I would be willing to offer some cash In exchange. |

No bumper or fender removal required. There's a circular disk behind the light, just twist and remove the cover, then twist and remove the bulb. Small hands help a lot.

When you open the hood and look under that shelf area where the lights are you'll see 2 discs with a flat handle on them. The one closest to the outside is for the headlights the and the inner one is for the angel eyes. Just have to reach your hand in there and twist the covers off.

Advice with a picture...
Understand the cussing, add a few bloody knuckles. When I removed an aftermarket bulb, it broke, that was fun...
Maybe the attached pictures will help. Just have to unscrew the cap, three tabs so just a small counter clockwise turn. Then twist out bulb housing. I think it is about a 1/4 turn. Go slow and use small hands!

I have a few pics yes. However the pics look nothing like the color in person. For brightness they are ok. Not great not bad but I have seen much worse and you can defiantly see them. I will keep these installed until I find some I really like. If you still want pics I will post them but like I said they don't do much for comparing.
