i cant pull out the headlight so im trying to do it without pulling it out but its too big to fit in
Its kind of like this

Dude, relax, take a deep breath and have a beer.
You can put the Angelibright in without taking out the headlight, but is a little harder.
Or, you can take out the headlight, (total of 4 screws / Torque scre needed).
Once you have that out, its self explanatory to install.
Good luck.
If you need, search in the DIY section and you can find out how to take out your headlight correctly.

ok, i installed them and it was hardcore work. or maybe i just suck at technical stuff. close thread please =D
Hardcore?!?! I told you slow and steady makes it easy! At least you got them in yourself. Isn't it great that you didn't have to pay someone to do that?
