I really enjoyed that one. Good grief. I ended up unbolting the big metal bracket that's in the way there - totally helped out. Wish I'd a done it sooner after dropping multiple F-bombs and scratching up my mits.

No tip other than to just try and try again. It eventually goes in without removing any other components. You will probably scratch your hands up a bit. No biggie though.

Yeah this is the toughest part of the install. Replied to your PM but it takes some patience, I found the radiator hose got in the way so I had to push that out. Jon is really the master of getting this side in, I needed his help

it ended up taking a while to get it, but now i can do it 30 times in a row lol. What ended up being the main problem is one of the anchoring brackets for the entire install seems to be broken and there is a ton of play in my headlight (much much more than the right side) for some reason this had a massive effect.

btw these looks awesome, i think i may have to adjust one, the left seems to be dimmer compared to the right.. the right side has 2 points where the light is bright, and the left has 3 concentrated in one spot.. kinda weird to explain

the left side is a little bit trickier to install, but you should be able to do it, h8 35w for angel eyes
