don't disconnect the head light wires until you remove the housing. They saved me from flying across the garage when the stupid ball joint connection on the fender well side of the housing finally let go.

thanks alot guys, all the help came in handy. just finished up. looks solid. now all i think i might need is some brighter lights to replace the ones that were hiding behind the orange cover

maybe ill tackle the rear lights & reflector next weekend (im just lookin to get rid of the orange, the red can stay in my mind)
