Again, thats just me. And really, all I need is for someone to show me how to pull off the bumper, thats just about it. Everything else, will be me, and my hands on it. So if I fvck it up, I fvck it up. Im not afraid of it though.
Really? You don't see where in the process of heating them up, pulling them apart, taking out all the components, and then trying to put everything back together you could possibly fvck up the lights?

Burning, melting, or cracking the lens are the obvious first possibilities....

Who's all down to do this mod? DM, you down? Khoi, do you have experience in pulling off the bumper? We need an updated list.

Nope! Not seeing it, sorry. Maybe for you. Not for me, I've installed lambo doors, stereos, alarm components, and other sh1t, and this just doesnt scare me. Sorry.

I'm not saying it scares you (it doesn't scare me either), just that there is always a risk of you fvcking something up when working on your own car. Only difference is if a shop fvcks something up, then they will/should pay to replace it. If you fvck something up yourself then it's more money out of your own pocket. With the headlights being so expensive to replace, it's good to be a little cautious.

I agree,

Lambo doors belong on Lamborghini's only.

And for the record I'm only scared because I'm not mechanically inclined but I'm doing it anyway.

Hell, I did my own caliper swap without killing the car (lol)
