Default cleared out my headlights last night....unf....

Only things I'd add to the instructions in the library are the following:

The instructions say to remove the electrical connections to the headlights before unbolting and pulling out the headlights. I say forget that. unbolt 'em and pull 'em out first. much easier for me anyways.

And ...though the instructions _do_ emphasize being careful...I want to re-emphasize it. It's reaaaal easy to scratch the plastic/damage the insides of the headlights. Not necessarily the actual lights but the housing. Real easy to get glue everywhere too. When the glue is hot it will be very 'stringy' and getting that on the outside of the housing really sucks.

It's a tough thing to do because prying off the clear plastic from the black plastic requires a bit of brute force and brute force + being careful is a tough combo to acheive. Especially when you just wanna go to bed I don't recommend starting this at 6pm on a weeknight (like I stupidly did heh).

Overall though, it was worth it. Looks a lot better. And the instructions in the library are great...just make sure you read 'em completely.
