Help...Installing PIAA 1100s
I am unable to pull up the links to the install :confused:
Can someone please tell me the best way to remove the factory lights and replace with the 1100s. I should be fine with the electrical part. Just how in the heck do you do the physical stuff :bb Do I have to remove the entire front end :skep: :conehead

Raise the headlights. Remove the black plastic housing around the headlight. Reach in down to the mounting bracket. Remove the bolt (10mm head I think) that holds the bracket. Unplug the light. Remove the bracket/light. Remove the factory light and adjustment hardware. Mount the PIAA light into the factory bracket. Install PIAA and factory bracket.

The best way i have found is, jack the front up and put on jack stands (or rhino ramps) take the 6 small screws from the access panel on each side. Everything you need to access is there for you. No cut up hands this way. :D
