Hey guys, I searched but couldnt find any instructions for 06-07 headlight removal, so will these instructions work, or are the 06 lights way different to take apart?

hahahaha are you finally going to do it? i remember your posts of not wanting to do it and couldnt with zipps due to down time...

but in regards to your question...from what ive researched for months on this forum is that there isnt really a difference in the removal of the headlights...except maybe a few extra bolts on the undertray...and one or two in each fender well...depending on how you tackle the process...

edit are you going to be doing the oven thing? also...are you changing your signal bulbs to clear amber or leaving them the same? if youre clearing them....whered you get your bulbs at online? i cant seem to find them at a store :/

good luck to ya though ....it shouldnt be that bad...i think the nervousness all comes from the oven part O_O (duh! right?) so anxiously wait for them next to the oven :P

wait when you say six hours...when do you mean like youre gonna be doing it around 4 am O_O ?

Sorry I missed your thread----How did it go ??? Disassembly is a little different and protecting the LEDs is a good idea

well taking everythign from the main housing is common sense...but what do you mean by its a little different? disassembly of the housing? removing it from the car? enlighten me with the few defferences.....no ones ever actually specified the differences...other that theyre minor?

Removal from the car is exactly the same.

There are the same or maybe one less screw to remove on the Housing/Lens assy. The loom is basically the same, except there is a short unaccessable wire going to the LEDs. The vent rubber is the same. The lens assy is disassembled a little differently but just common sense.
In the case of the 06, I baked it to get it apart, but used a heatgun to reassemble with the help of the screws to pull it together again.
The LED/circuit board unit I left alone, but really watched my heat.
That assy will hang up a little on R&R so you have to take it slow, but no big deal
