'95-'96 SC's are almost a dime a dozen at local junkyards, So sourcing a pair of glass high beams shouldn't be very difficult...If you can't find any of those year models, Then the state of Nevada must be a pretty lame place to live in.

If you use masking tape, use a couple of layers. The sharp pointy thing pm the headlights would rip right through one layer and scratch your bumper

Glad to hear the headlights worked out.

So no way of cheating this?.......seems like a lot just for some high beams lol

agreed. plus, the duct tape wouldn't be on long enough to damage the bumper

hmm, you guys that didnt remove the wheel must have small hands because there was no way my hands + ratchet & extension could fit in such a small opening. i didnt even see how you had room to move the lining.
