just got my new lights in the mail:D , but im having some trouble installing them, i thought it was a unbolt and bolt back process, but its prooving not to be, am i best to take it to a mechanic/auto electrion, so they can do it in a matter of 5 minutes, or is it just a pain in the ass job? haha, also anyone in the dandenong area, who wants to help, there may be a slab in reward hehe.

So how exactly are you failing :confused:

Insert bolts on the grill side into respective holes (pointing toward grille) put nuts on... then bolt the other side down... Reversing how you took them off...

getting the old ones off is the problem, eveything is rusted and wont unbolt.

hmm, just tested to see if they work, lights seem abit dim, is this just what zenon blue lights are like, or does it sound like the wires are abit loose?
