ok im thinkin of changin my puddle lamps they a bit yellow compare to my dome lights. they dont match but i think its the lens cover that is causin this. i used the polarg to test it out and it looks good but when i put them in the puddles they are a bit yellowish.

if u search in this thread it actually tells u step by step. once u unscrew u pull it down a little then u pull it towards you after the hooks in the back are off then u pull down to get those white tabs off. its a pain but this will let u change the dome and the reading lights. i used a credit card to get the plastic off as it was easier for me when the unit is actually on my lap doin it then usin the card to pry it up top. was difficult for me that way but hey if u can pry it up top then u will save time.

yeah thats what i meant, i wasn't sure how to exactly unhook those hooks, but i felt resistance, so i gave up before i broke something. then realized u can pop the lens itself off instead, haha. i think dont think a credit card has enough rigidty to pop the lense, i used a plastic trim removal tool.
well if u want just the buy Carson Tuned LED Turn Signal Mirror Covers Set 169.99 for a pair and add 129.99 for paint. i dont know if they come with the mirrors but im sure those are the covers. if they happen to come with mirrors i think u should upgrade.

i apologize ahead of time for this noob question.
to take out the headlight housing completely, do i need to take off the fender, bumper? or nothing at all, just the screws.
i tried before, but seems like a big part of our headlights are beneath the fender

what do you mean just a cover? if you're referring to the mass amount of plastic pieces in the engine bay, then yes, i've taken those off plenty of times and put them back on (just to see how it looks under). but i havent taken off the entire front bumper yet.
is that what i need to do though?
