When removing do I have to take off the bumper? I have also been looking for new headlights with the halo or l.e.d. but I cant find any for the 2nd gen models, any websites or company suggestions?

I had moisture in my headlight too, when I put in my aftermarket hids. Basically it's the rubber grommet that I folded into itself, not letting it sit completely flush letting moisture into the housing.

You're going to need to wait for a warm, sunny day. If you have an air compressor at home you want to open your headlight grommet and pull both high beam and low beam out, and let the air flow through the headlight until moisture is gone (approx 30ish minutes) and reseal headlight with silicone around grommet, or grease. Another option is to find a hair dryer and attach some Tubing, maybe a ft., and let it blow into your headlight, with bulbs out.

As for angel eyes, you'll have to get it custom done for the look you desire and also for the right rings. I would suggest staying away from ccfl rings and go with something led. I recently had mine done and they are led, much brighter than ccfl.



Sorry for spelling, I'm on my phone =)
