I am planning on putting my jdm grill, new headlights, and taking the amber piece out of the corner lights this weekend. I wanted to know how you guys go about doing this like should I take the grill out then the headlights and last the corner lights? Or is there some other way I should go about doing it? Also I wanted to take out my fog lights so I can wetsand them but anyways there are only 2 bolts holding them in correct?

You have to take the grille out first to access bolts for the headlights. There are 4 clips along the top of the grille that you'll see when you open the hood. Squeeze them with a needle nose pliers and pop the grille out. I don't know how the bolts are on the two piece headlights, but on the one piece lights, there are 3 bolts (two on the top, one behind the grille on the front) that need to be removed, and of course the wiring to the headlights needs to be unplugged.

Two piece headlights, you should only have one screw to take out to remove the corner light and after removing the screw, just pull the light forwards. That should be all there is to it.

Are you just replacing the stock head lights? If your doing projectors, your gonna need to do some wiring. There is a tread on that if you need it...

Simple removal instructions...
1. Remove Screw for side marker, then pop forward (has a pin/clip holding it in), then remove light plug.
2. Remove Grill. Has 4 clips at the top. Use a screw driver to hod tabs down pull grill forward, then up. Head lights have hold down tabs that make the grill to go up for removal.
3. Removing Head light. 2 10mm top core support bolts, and a 10mm bolt behind grill. Cant remember, but I think there is one behind the side marker on the 98-99 USDM lights.

Install is reversed, however, you want to remove the grill clips from the core support and install in the grill. Makes install a bit smoother. It really is not that bad.

As for your fogs... REALLY simple! You will have 2 10mm head bolts and they are out. Lay on the ground and you will see a black metal bracket. There is a pic, like the side marker, and they will be out.
