Ok i bought some new headlights for my Eclipse, i'm trying to replace my stock headlights with them, does anyone know an easier way to replace them? I tried taking the front bumper off, but damn, its a pain in the butt, so i gave up after 2 hrs! Heres the headlights i bought http://www.symmic.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=714

Does anyone have an intruction with "PICTURES" on how to do it?

I havent actually taken off the front bumper, but with anything new that i am trying to replace, just make sure you have enough time, and take it easy. Also, are thos lights actually projectors?? Im not sure but i heard from someone that projectors dont use bulbs but all the projectors on ebay use bulbs? Can anybody clear this out for me?

Are those headlights good quality. They are pretty cheap for that price. Mine are getting foggy and stained. They might need a replacement soon.

Man, why does mitsubishi gotta make it so hard? you have to squeeze through tight spaces to get to a 10mm bolt. Oh boy its going to be hard squeezing through the 10mm bolt where the stock intercooler is. Horse shiet! ok back to the question. I need an intructions with "PICTURES" so i don't mess my bumper up.

jesus thats alot, i was going to take out one of my headlights to clean it out, but damn thats alot of bolts, and omg, its like brain surgery tryin to get to the bolts that are actually in the bay, lemme go get that good ol elbow grease...........

i got one of those car manuals from auto zone for my 98 eclipse, and in the part talking about removing the front bumper, it tells me to disconnect the negative and positive battery terminal so the air bag wont accidently deploy (guessing theres sensors behind the bumper). is all that really necessary?

I didn't do it, had no problems.
