I live in Canada, and It costed me $500 for those. I still have to pay $700 for painting the Ings kit and Engin cover with instllation.

To be honest here, it was a abit pain in the @$$ but it worth it

BlackGhost

me too hehehehe

BlackGhost

which one you mainly want

looks good... I'm debating on painting my headlight housing too.

BlackGhost

first of all, you wont break anything. Here is what most ppl do, put it in the oven. I DID NOT DO THAT. yes its faster and easier,but not better for the headlights. I used a blow dryer and it took me hours. The reason I didnt use the oven is because the oven will melt some of the headlight part as well,you might don,t even notice it or see it(inside the headlight) due to the heat in the oven . Other than that everything is easy, and baby steps.

Regarding that you dunt have another car, that is not a problem. This weekend woke up early and take your front fender off and your headlight off, If its your frist time it will take you about 4 hours to get this job done. Than use a blow dryer to open the headlights and fogs, than use the sanding paper to sand it(or dont if you want the black to be shiny due to the chrome under it). Than, use a paint spray(your car color if you want or black) or painted if you want to waste your money like i did(cuz honesly you cant tell the different at all, plus painting will consume alot of time that you dunt have)

After your done with the sprying,if you have HALOS install them, if you dunt than just basiclly reput all the stuff back again to there place and heat up the headlight(around the glow only) and simple click them togather. Apply some pressure on the headligtht using your hand (headlight fasing the ground on a towel) for a while and leave it till its cool . Than just reput everyhting to its place

This thing will take between 12 to 18 hour max

Make sure you take pics for us and also pics for yourself before you take anthing off,to know where does everthing go(scrows) and you avoid the confusion.

hope this helped
