Were Dwightf stops I go on.


After removing headlight have a look from the front.



Remove the rubber housing buy squeezing the end of the clips and it will slip out.



After that turn the head light on its back and you will see 3 screws. (T-20)just undo them a little this is enough.
Slide part of. (this is used to align the trim under the head light)
If the trim fits fine and flush reinstall using the same screw locations on the part.



After you have taken off the clamps you can now gently remove the head light cover.



When you removed the lens always use new seals to reinstall the lens.

Now you have the unit disassembled, and here is the hard part.
On the pic you see a screw on the top right, undo this.




Gently use a screwdriver and start at the opposite corner and gently! lift that side up.
On each corner there is a clamp/hook (not sure what word is sorry)
After this you can remove the lens straight out.




So you got the hard part behind you now!

Gently clean the lens and reflector with a soft cloth (it does scratch easy!!!)
Flip over the lens and insert the Angel Eye to see it fits ok.



When you are sure it fits you can install the LED's and the cable.



As you can see its nice and tight.
When you fitted both have a test and look at it...............nice huh!



Than you can rebuild the unit and connect the ring to you side beams.
I went a little further and changed my lenses and seals.......looks much better!



When you are dune with the other one pop them back and look at the difference.

After off:

I know it is some work but it's also fun.
This is a inexpensive set that also can be yours for only $55-60 including shipping to the USA.
The sets come complete with all stuff that is need.
You can request a LED colour of you choice.
Mine was standard warm-white versions, but they also carry bright white, red, blue ect.
If you want one let me know!
