New Headlights are in!

Hey guys! Just got my new set of CCFL headlights in today, picked it up, no cracks, all in good condition. Unfortunately i haven't got the time to install it in yet, or even tried wheter its working properly or not. Been really busy these last couple of days, but will sure be posting up some new pics once it's installed! , Btw, any DIY on replacing a headlight on fits?/Jazz's?.. All info would help. Thanks

Disregard this post, I misread the OP's question.

Actually, you don't have to remove the bumper at all. You have to do is turn the wheel in for its corresponding side. So, if right side turn the wheel left, if left turn the wheel right. Just undo the fender liner, and you'll be able to access the bulbs in the headlight as well as the fog lights if you have them.

Thought this guy was replacing the headlight itself, not the bulbs...He will have to remove the bumper to replace the headlight assembly.

No doubt it happens....I have purchased a 2003 GD3 from Japan, and have been studying this site for the last month so have been familiar with headlight removal process, my car should arrive here next week. I'm pretty excited to see her!

Hahaha yes i mean change the whole headlights. I know how to change bulbs, it's pretty simple, but not too sure bout the headlights.. I decided to ask a family mech to help me out, so he can show me the process too for next time if i want to change it myself. It'll be done on thursday so i'll definitely be taking pics sometime right after that

Thanks guys!
