Hafta take the bumper off to get at this black bracket, then remove the bracket with the headlight (it sandwiches the headlight in & has alignment nubs that prevent removing the headlight without it)

shitty "various manufacturer" Eagle Eyes assembly, also from rockauto going on the left. The black mounting bracket was clearly modified and fitted by someone trying very hard despite being under-equipped. Fitment was tricky vs. the Depo. Had to keep all bolts loose until I could get it fully seated. The actual light housing part seems the same as the depo though regarding fit and finish.

My hands weren't always as gentle as they are now. 3 busted clips of 4 that secure the bumper beneath the headlight on the right side. The left has no busted clips.. Clearly I originally worked from right to left when I first removed the bumper. It still holds well, sincerely, but I do have shame. :/

All tools required. The flathead was actually used for the clips in the previous image, not to unseat them (I used the pink pry tool for that) but to spread them for re-seating! wacky.

All reASSembled. Now needs a bath. All in cost was $230, came with new bulbs but I retained my LED daytime running bulbs. I did this instead of refinishing because I'd refinished my headlights 3 times in the past in various ways. Kits, brake fluid wipe, just buffing with a dry shop towel folded beneath an orbital sander 😂 I'm done refinishing. If I had to do it again, id have more money and get 2 depos, or even more money and get 2 tyc's. the clear cover seems nice. will update after wash

Left side of the image would be where the upstream cat/exhaust manifold affixes to the engine.

Was a v6 with 6 or 8 snapped exhaust manifold bolts between both cylinder heads. Drilling them all out took at least two days, but every single one came out and no threads were damaged by my work.

If you go the route of pulling fans instead of the intake manifold, be careful with the passenger side fan. banged up my radiator.

My whole kit 😂 It's as much work as I'm willing to tolerate ~ spray, brush (recommend a flag-tipped brush) and hose off.
