Headlight Header Panel

Well I changed mine today and got some pics for kicks while I was at it, I'll write a short how to incase anyone's wondering (I dunno if there already is one, just need an excuse to post pics basically, haha)

First off, I've got my new headlight and header panel!




Next you remove the headlights, and 4 bolts obviously holding it on. Then there's one under it on either side, the head is underneath some metal, but you can easily spot where it goes into the header panel.

Then it should be loose. However, the headlight harness is attached to it with some snap things. You can either carefully push them out of the holes they go through or careleslly break off the head of it holding it in.. I did number 2, haha (it ends up not being a big deal in the end).




And it comes out!






Btw, here's some pics of what's hidden behind the headlights if you've ever wondered.

passenger side has the horn.. I think that's what it is


driver's side had the snakey and restricting airintake.. this would be a good time to put on a cold air intake if you want one.


(I had to smash the shit out of my old headlight to quickly extract the LED string (don't worry, it was already maimed and the bulbs were removed)


Then fit your new header panel back in, replace the 6 bolts and make sure the harness is run along the groove in it like it was with the old one and you're done!
Don't have any pics of the finished product, but I did more drawing afterwards..(you can kind of see the orange reflector on the new light)


that messy fender'll only be on there till I get the new one.

cheers.

Haha, yeea.

The lens is a lot toughter than you'd think, I smashed on it with a hammer for a while, then gave up and beat the piss out of the gray part.

Gotta agree with Sweet on this one, but what are you trying to do?
