Any suggestions Rick on how to get condensation out of the headlight? (maybe a hairdryer outside of the light will work????)

yeah I liked the shape but I too dislike the bubble boob shape thing. But for $50 it was a pretty good deal for me. A friend of mine mentioned that he could probably open up the lense and cut out the center leds to make it into a G35 circle... i think that might look cool like that, but thats just me

no problem, if you find anything let me know! It's been like this for a while and I havent bought a replacement set yet anyways, I didnt want to buy replacements if it can't be done, once I know it can be done then i'll buy replacements.

have you actually done it? are there any items in the back like brackets or a mounting hanger (that the light may sit in) that can cause it not to be removed?

there is no way to remove the headlight housings in your situation in my opinion...i have done it a few times to change bulbs, and there are 2 bolts if i remember correctly, that are in the very lower front of the headlight housings..i dont think you can reach them without getting the bumper off..those lights are a pain to take out

I wish they were like lights I had on other cars where you didn't have to remove the bumper. My eclipse, cavalier, and 300zx did not require the bumper to be taken off, my wife's jetta on the other hand does require removing the bumper. They should make these things easy!

i'm thinking of how all the bolts and everything go together. I see that it may be possible, but still a good chunk of hours and labor to be done.
you've got yourself in a pickle here, sorry man.
