Default Installing Halos

Will I have to drop the bumper for this? I got all of them black.. Front and rear bumper + the headlight itself. I know the rear ones just screw in but the front bumper ones are the ones i am worried about.

Any suggestions/help?

Thanks

No need to drop bumper. Once you get the OEM headlights out, remove/replace the amber parking housings because you'll have the room to do it then.

just put them on and adjust them at night . I tried to close all the gaps but them at night my beems were pointed down so i could not see. so put them on and at night adjust them , i got in and out of my car to see if the beems were high enough.there is a way that the gaps do close , i believe the top adjuster screw is scewed all the way out. after that just play with itadjust the bottom, a lil to the top till you fill its ok.Good luck

There are some write-ups of how to install them. They are a pain in the *** but you don't have to take off your bumper to get them in. Use your stock brackets and when you install the halos keep them screwed in all the way so the bracket and the lights are as close as they can be, so you have as much room as you can get to fit them in. To fix the gaps, either adjust them or if you can't adjust them enough and still have the beam pointing the right height, then put some washers in between the lights and the screws to push the lights closer to the bumper and close the gap.
