To change the hid bulbs do we really need to take the housing off the car. I bought the same bulbs as you and I really didn't want to take the bumper off to take the housings off to change a bulb any easier way?

Left one you can change it without accessing it via fender liner, but the driver side is blocked by fuse box/battery and unless you are adult with 5 year olds hands, then you could do it, otherwise you have to remove 3 screws from the fender liner and access it that way.

No bumper removal is necessary

Pete,

Do you have a frontal comparison shot of OEM and the new bulbs?

Exhaust and Intake going in this weekend, along with Subframe mount and couple minor interior adjustments.

Next week I should receive my new door controllers so I will have support for (Autodimming, Auto-Folding with Puddle LED lights) Side mirrors, and other Euro goods are on the shipment as well.

As far as going to shows, I was planning on Waterfest. But will see how timing plays with my other priorities which seem to pile up on my desk.

The cut-off is notched like in EU Spec Headlights. Much different than US ones.
I finally got my DSLR replacement with some good lenses, so I'll try to keep up with the pics on here more often.
The ones above were taken with my cell phone.

That's it? Nose any shallower? Curious as to the cost difference between shaving sides, and purchasing a whole new bumper skin.

$$$$ for a euro bumper shipped and painted. you can always sell your OEM bumper to make back a few $$$

$$$ shave and paint.
