HID's in, how?
My HID's came in, kit looks great... started taking apart the right headlight assembly... how do I get into this thing? I removed the black shroud around the light assembly, removed the top, removed the bracket for the top... so what next? and where are you guys mounting the power stabilizer?
Thanks,
Dave

Once those 3 screws are out the headlight will come out.

the easiest way to get to your headlights off is using a torx 15 bit and an 8mm box-in wrench
then your entire headlight bucket will swivel back and allow plenty of room for installing all sorts of goodies.

but watch for that bolt. it's held on with loctite and stripped the torx right quick.

Thanks all for the help, could have used an extra set of hands a couple of times but I got it all back together and working fine. What a difference these lights make. I'm going to have to adjust the aim on one light but other then that the install went fairly smoothly.
One note, before you take the headlight cover bracket off, use a grease pencil or something to mark where it is. It will save you some time on reassembly, you won't have to keep removing the cover, readjusting the bracket so that you can get the cover aligned correctly.
