Took these out recently, everything works perfect and I replaced the both high and low beams a few months ago too.
I also have the covers, they are factory Lemans blue for 2001. I scoured junkyards and ebay to get a decent price for these so I can do 175.00 each shipped or 300.00 for the pair. Once again they work perfect and I only took them out to install the non popups. They will come with all hardware (screws and fasteners) as well. Basically they are ready to just get installed.

As long as you have strong fingers you can just remove both side lower spoilers and remove the little bolts too so you can reach your hands in. The plastic is very forgiving so you can pull it pretty far. Make sure you have every bolt and fastener because if its loose even a little it will tear your front bumper when you turn them on.
midnight01 I'm very interested in the headlights.
Can you tell me the condition of the paint on the lids?
Also, do both of the motors have the rubber caps on the manual opening *****??
Thanks!!

The color is Lemans Blue and in excellent condition, I also have the rubber caps for both.

They sound too good to pass up.
If you don't have a taker I'd like to get them.
Good packing will be the key to success for sure!!
I've bought a set in the past and when they showed up both of the lids were pretty much wasted.
If you can PM your PayPal info I can send payment when I get home from work.
Thanks!!

Congrats on the sale
I can back midnight up on that.
I've had mine in and out a few times now and the access from the bottom, and a little bit from the top, is all you need. Takes a little time to get everything aligned nicely. A little patience is all it takes.
Mine had Depos on it when I bought it so I know what you're going through.
Good luck with the project!!

I ran into the same problem.
Try a You Tube search. I think there are some videos.
Once you open up those inspection panels behind the front spoiler everything will become a bit more obvious. There are a few more attachment bolts in there than you might think, so, it may take a bit of time to locate them all. It's tedious, but, not really all that difficult.
SOLD!!! As a reminder, I used UPS and they dropped the box the item was shipped in and broke the headlamp cover and made it unusable. When me and the purchaser put in a claim UPS basically said tough and I did not package it properly. LMAO I packed the sides with 2 inches of paper wrap and also wrapped each piece. You should have seen the box where they dropped it, it was fully crushed. The guy at the UPS said they have a thing they do, if they cant drop it off of a table without it getting broken then its the shippers fault. I will NEVER use UPS again. I made it right myself and gave some money back to the buyer so he can buy the piece they broke.
I was the buyer and I can verify what midnight said. The stuff was packed well and should have made the trip without any damage IMHO.
The box was dropped pretty hard and landed on one of the corners. The impact was hard enough that the cardboard box ripped and a couple of small components fell out of the box. Pretty sad.
Seller was great and followed up quickly with UPS to get the claim rolling. When UPS bailed midnight stepped in and refunded a good bit of the purchase price so that I could try to get everything repaired or replaced.
Very good transaction and I can highly recommend midnight as a seller and a Forum Member.
Thanks midnight01!!!!
