very nice ef futura mate love what you have done with the blue bulbs in the dash, tinted tail lights would suit your car heaps because of the colour of your car.

Pretty good price man. A heap better compared to $300 for a pair over in NZ thats for sure.

Yeah take the indicator off first. Theres one screw holding it in place, undo that then kinda use the palm of your hand to push it out, then disconnect the plug for the indicator. Then undo the 4 bolts i think (all 10mm iirc) holding in the headlight theres 2 around the top, one just below where the indicator is (can be a bit tricky to get to cause you have to use the space where the indicator sits to get the socket and universal to fit in) and the other is on the point end of the headlight, has a bracket thing mounted to it. Then manuoever it out just enough so you can unplug the loom for the headlight. Do the same for the other side. Installation is basically that it reverse lol.

Once the olds lights are out untwist the big circle cover on the back and swap over the bulbs in to the new lights. The parkers are easy enough just as they are just wedge bulbs. The low beam ones have a clip kinda thing holding them in place that you have to release to get the bulbs out. The high beams have a cover screwed ontop of them, so remove that and then take it out i suppose, lol i havent replaced the high beams before so dont really know. Its pretty straight forward once you start pulling everything out.
