Has anyone done this yet, Just finished looks great, but was there an easier way than removing the fenders?

Can you give me a brief description of how you got your new projectors in. I am in the middle of doing the same thing. I broke my headlight getting them out. So now I have bought the black projectors to put in place of the old ones. Do I have to get different bulbs. By the way, how much did you pay for the projectors? I bought them for 210.00. I just won my auction on e-bay so I have not recieved them yet. Have you found a way to make black corners? I dont think you can buy them. Anyway, any info on how the new ones go in would be very helpfull. Do you have a helms? If so, can you post a picture of the headlights and how they come apart correctly? I cant afford to break any more headlights.

Well I could have taken the time but I diddnt want to so I broke the factory ones out. It makes it easier if you seperate them from that plastic mounting bracket then just start removing all kinds of screws, some pry bars help to get at screws, removing inner fender then fender, seperating the adjuster bolt from the bracket, removing corner lense. Then there out, then I actaully had to pry the upper cross beam that the radiator bolts on up aprox 1 inch to fit in new projectors, dont worry they bend back with a little hammering, if you look now you could never tell they were bent......Actaully took about 5 hours to do both of them.
