not a dis, but I'm so glad to see you putting e-codes on your ride. I've seen so many pics of you car and I would always think "all he needs are e-codes and clear corners and the job would be finished!" Can't wait to see your ride then.

( i agree with you all the way....just couldn't justify spending another 400 on my front end... but the 199 Group Buy was the ticket!) Anyone have step by step installation instuctions or pics of instalation?
How long does it take? Thanks in advance

The install sounds as easy as the Depot install. Jus remove your grill then the part that runs under the headlights and grill. All you'll need is a screw driver and maybe a crescent wrench. Then unscrew/unbolt the headlights (i forget if it's screws or bolts here) unplug the wiring from the rear of the headlight (hi & low beams each) and just plug in the e-codes. All done in an hour I would say. The difference is like night and day, you will be very happy

I would personally suggest using superwhite bulbs ( but not the cheap ass chinese or japanese ones). Ane even with the lights off, your call will look sweet. I couldn't stop staring at mine for like 2 weeks I was so happy!

While your changing headlights you might as well spend a bit more time and money and get a relay harness from A2B4guy. I think he said you get about a %30 increase it light output on E-codes with his harness.
Headlight install will probably take you less than one hour, maybe more like 30 min. It is quite easy even if you're like me and you don't know what you're doing.
