Thanks fellas. So far its been pretty straight forward and as multiple members have stated, its not hard, but just little time consuming. I wouldn't imagine how i could do it in one day, esp for the first time. Time wasnt an issue for me as i got a second set of lights, and the retro so far has been literally a breeze. I wanted to learn how to do it and of course it doesnt help that i love takin $hit appart.

That's awesome bro. Helps to be good at DIY shit and be mechanically inclined as well. I would have tackled it myself if I was in your position. But having three small kids it's just easier to buy em pre made and pop em in. Looks like u did an amazing job though!!!

I got my headlights in and out without removing the bumper, but you're adjusting them so it might be different?

You can peel back the wheel well liner to get to the bottom screw of the head light housing to change em out but it's much easier to work with the retro to ground the relay harness and run the wires for the ballasts/HID kit if you just remove the bumper.

I have to get my meth pump rewired or removed while im in there so bumper has to come off. It's right on top of the fog light so I might as well. And yes I want to make sure I ground the new hid system good.
