Default Quick Sonar headlight question

I've sold my stock headlights, and have a set of Sonar headlights coming. Before I ship my stock lights, do I need to remove any/all of the mounting hardware to install on the Sonars?

Mounting hardware like the bolts? Keep the bolts but everything else you need to mount the sonar headlights are included.

You'll need the bolts, that L shape piece, and some get by with it but some swap out the headlight brackets that have the adjusters on it cause the ones that come on a lot of the aftermarket headlights suck. But since you sold the stockers, idk how the buyer would like getting half of a headlight assembly though.

The only thing you need to keep is your high beam bulbs (they don't come with those).. Don't try to swap the plastic L, first, you sold your headlights so the buyer will need them, second, the one that comes with the Sonars is fine. Might need some slight adjustment of the lower stop/pivot point to fill the infamous bumper gap, but that depends on the car. Mine needed it but my car had been hit in the front before I got it so some gaps were a little weird.
