      Don't panic! You can do it, just make it a Saturday afternoon project! Most of the newer vehicles are making you remove the bumper covers to access the headlights. More videos on the vehicles coming this year!

      You could leave them out, but the assembly won’t be held in as securely as it should be”d be. It could rattle around and cause the bulbs to go prematurely.

      @@gman_78 I had literally just bought this car and it needed motor work, so it was not drivable. I did a bunch of videos while I was fixing the engine issue. It didn’t get washed because it was not being used and was inside my garage. As I type, it is now back on the road and always washed. This dk blue colour looks really sharp clean. Thanks for watching and your comment, @gman_ 78.
