I bought !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! instead of an OEM style. I figured, hey, the car's already yellow and black, why not embrace the whole "bumblebee" aesthetic! Unfortunately I can't install them due to the silliest design flaw ever :(

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

You see, the headlights are held on with these stupid, skinny, 6" long bolts that pass through two points in the radiator support and then thread back into a bracket on the headlight assembly. They are also ridiculously skinny. (Did I say that already?) It also bears to mention that my car has spent its whole life in coastal New England. Can you see where this is going?

Yup. The heads snapped off during a previous attempt at changing the bulb a while back. I now have these long-ass bolts that can't be removed by simple tools.

Also, the turn signal lenses on theses new lights are plastic as opposed to the OEM's glass, so I'll have to figure out a way to swap those out. Hopefully, when all is said and done it'll look like this:

Go away. It was either that or those horrid HID/projecter kits.

Crap! I'm sorry, I didn't think you saw this. It's on it's way to Maine to visit 505turbeaux. Keep an eye out though, it's going to make the rounds in New England for a while
