After many years of dealing with polishing my OEM headlights over and over and over, I final had the chance to install my factory replacement TYC headlights a week or two ago. Plus, I added a badgeless grill I've had sitting around for years AND a new OEM lower grill. To top it off, I replaced one of my missing washer caps; and this time, I epoxy'd the cap's attachment piece to the "popping mechanism" to help avoid it going MIA again.
Enjoy the pics of the before, during, and after (pics taken without a car wash). It still needs one BAD! LOL!
Before surgery. Before surgery. During surgery. During surgery. There's an awful lot happening behind this bumper! There's an awful lot happening behind this bumper! There's an awful lot happening behind this bumper! Facial reconstruction complete! Facial reconstruction complete!
Finally had the chance to visit the grounds of a newly finished warehouse with flat parking lots and blank walls to align the headlights on my car. Boy was that passenger side way off! Enjoying being able to see again at night!
Seeing is living! Haha!
You notice what brand of bulbs were used in HID application?
When I did the fog light LED upgrade they have a cutoff like a projector and were pointed at the ground burning ants! Pretty useless until aimed properly. So I can relate to finding a good spot to aim the lights. FWIW I threw towels over the main lighting to aim the fogs but do that one at a time to aim the main lights so you can clearly see where they are.
I like the new badgless grill! If you don't know what it is behind you likely don't care anyways!

All bulbs were swapped over from the old housings. A couple years ago I replaced the original Sept 2005 HIDs with new OEM bulbs ($$$). Hope to get 10+ yrs out of them too!
Burning ants! ROFL! I've got new 3k HID 35w bulbs in the mail for my fogs. But because I continue to get moisture inside the fog housings, I REALLY new fog housings altogether.
Yeah, I waited sooooo long to do this. It really cleans up that front end! If you're not first, you're last!
