00 Headlight removal tutorial?

So we can't seem to get these lights off. Any tutorials on how to do this? What other screws are there besides the top 2?

Just that, the top 2.......just wiggle it out there is a clip on the bottom and another in the fender that holds it in after the screws are removed.

Unplug all the connectors first. Remove screws and pull away. It's pretty easy.

We can't seem to get the new headlight in, it has some mounts that I think are for the 02 03 model. It seems to be catching on the body. Not sure though

If you don't already have them, you'll need the harness and clips. Call Dave B 1.888.254.6060 to order the parts.

What is this "we" business?

So we got one on, me and my buddy had to do some enhancements like grind the bottom brackets off. Now everything is good, now we need some help on wiring into the parking light for the halos. Any good directions?

So we figured out the issue, but now I gotta order screw grommets and a clip for the bottom of the headlight since we broke those. Fun stuff.. My first install on something like this, and it definately wasn't just a bolt on. Not at all!
