Now what?
Ok, I ordered my projectors, ballasts and the rest. I'm gonna have to pull out the low beam housings so I can hack them up. How do I remove them? I'm assuming I have to remove the bumper, but how? Thanks.

You'll need an 8 and 10 mm ratchet, a 13 mm open ended and a phillips head screw driver.
1. You need to detatch the foglight splash shields from the car (you can leave them attatched to the bumper) using the screwdriver.
2. Using the 8mm, disconnect the 4 bolts around the head lights.
3. With the 10mm ratchet, remove the bolts on either side of the bumper where it meets the fender (near the wheel).
4. To access the next two fasteners, you'll need to remove the sidemarker and part of the impact strip (or remove it from underneath the car). They're elongated bolts with a 10mm head on either side of the bumper. Loosen them until they drop down but don't remove them from the bumper.
5. Finally, remove the front fan shroud and you'll be able to access the two 13mm nuts. Remove them.
6. CAREFULLY remove the bumper (it is advised to have 2 people do it so that you don't scratch the fender with the sides).
7. If you didn't disconnect the wiring and temperature sensor from below before removing all the hardware, then disonnect everything before you pull the bumper very far off the car.
Thanks Josh. What time are you gonna' be over to help. Just take route 66 for three days, then hang a louie, you can't miss it. [8D]
I'm not sure why, but that cracked me up. By the way, I have a very old part of route 66 in my backyard. It's now just an access road to a drainage basin where tons of foreign contract workers from State Farm play cricket. I'm sure everyone deeply cares about that tidbit of information, ha ha.

RE: Now what?
I did that roadtrip once and it was awesome!! Picturing a bunch of swarthy insurance salesman, in their Cricket whites playing in a drainage ditch in Southern IL just made my day.
Speaking of insurance, hey STR8!! When I bought my car it was bone stock. Should I increase my insurance as I add mods, or is that not recoupable in the event of a loss? Thanks

Yeah, for some reason I found that pretty damn funny too...
I would love to take a road trip. When my girl moved out here from florida, we drove her car from Orlando to LA. We took the southern route, but we had such a good time seeing the country, we're definitely going to do it again. :0) On if I go the 66 route, I'll stop by and pull off your bumper for ya ;0)
Thrill - I'm a programmer at State Farm and don't know crap about insurance. As a matter of a fact, State Farm denied me insurance and I work for them!! Bastards! hahah

Whatchu got? Seguros Magnum? [:D]
I had a lot of speeding tickets with my 97 Maxima, so that didn't help matters.
