Default Installing "Pop-Ups"
My 2004 Vette came with Depo headlights. How difficult is it to install the factory pop-ups?

I asked this question before but didn't get a response.

Thanks,
Ray

Probably because how difficult the task is..really depends on your expertise, having the proper tools, ,and ability to follow the service manual.

If you come down to Madison, I might be interested in swapping labor for your headlights. Let me know and we can get together.
