another depo lights question
So im opting to by a set of 4pc depo lights for my 99. Currently I have the stock headlamps which suck but I also have city lights.
The depo projectors im looking at :

Now by the high beams there seems to be a small hole for the bulb to be inserted but my question is do I have to cut any wires or so?
Is it simply just swap the bulbs out and connect the headlamps and thats it?

no they're made for H7 bulbs so you just swap everything over, teh only issue is if you have pre face lift fog lights which are built into the headlamp then your gonna loose those unless you do get post face lift fog light recesses and replace them with yours.

SAudi:, I have fog lights in addition to the city lights / (headlamp fog lights ). They are on a separate switch so I guess all that will be retained when doing the swap.
Also, where can I buy the screws that hold down the headlamp ( I know already that my passenger side is going to be a bish to remove) definitely will be stripping that bolt.
Can I get to the bottom headlight bolt without removing the bumper? maybe a 90 degree angle driver or something

RE: another depo lights question
On those DEPO lights, the little city light (which fits into the hole in the bottom of the high beam reflector) is wired into your existing fog light circuit. I plan on eventually rewiringmine so thatthe city lights are hooked up to my parking lights, and then install facelift fogs and wire them to the existing fog light switch.
I managed to get at the bottom bolt alright with the bumper on, it's just a tight fit is all.

anyone know where I can get the headlight bolts? ( the two that go on top of the housing ) Im definitely going to strip the head trying to remove it cause it looks rusty.
