Default A little venting

Whoever the idiot that designed the 2g is... I hate him.

Headlight removal is a PITA!

Its a funny story.
I bought a HID kit and I was gonna put it in today.
Got started around 10am. Took the bumper off once, and pulled the lights so I could wire the sockets properly and hide the wiring.
I finish around 1pm-ish. They look awesome.
Go to the store to get some grocerys. I come out and my drivers headlight is busted, like someone backed into it. Since nothing else was hit, I assume truck towball.
Go to junkyard and pick up headlight. Take bumper back off. Swap all the wiring. put headlight back on. Thankfully, everything works.

I was just annoyed at the crappy design and having to remove my bumper twice in one day.

It was definitley fu*cked up.

I'm satisfied with the final results though. My camera does not show it very well, but they look great (The hid's). Went with a 7000K bulb temp.

haha.. Ya they are a pain.. When I was fixing mine I was tried everything I could to get that thing out without having to take the bumper off.. x2, They needed to spend more time on that so it wasnt such a pain.

I tried every setting on my camera to get a clear pic, and it just would'nt cooperate.
And my girlfriend won't let me touch her Canon SLR (go figure, I buy her a $2,000 camera and I can't play with it).
