H3 Changing the headlights and side marker lights

[SchoonerDriver]

Hey guys. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to change the headlights and side marker lights on the fenders. I couldn't find anything on any part of the forum. About to start my build thread with tinting the lights. Thanks!

headlights you can just reach in and untwist them. side markers youll have to go in through the wheel well

If you don't want to go the ought the wheel well you can pull the grill (6 bolts and a few clips) then you can pull the headlight and corner lights as a unit then replace that way as well

You can gently pry out the side marker from the fender but I'd give you a 50/50 chance of breaking the clips.

Definitely tried prying the side marker lights out and thought they were going to shatter with the clips so I just let them be. However after two hours of realizing the seal from the OEM lights was still stuck to the hole where the light should go and trying to shove the new ones in I finally realized I was putting them in wrong :shame:. The new lights look great though! I went with a 6000K I believe. Halogen bulbs that are pure white. Now comes the challenge of trying to change he fog lights.:whaa:

Fog lights are easy, drop the skid plates and you have easy access to them. I put 8000k in my headlights and regular 9005 bulbs in my fogs. Plan to upgrade the pig tails and run a heavier gauge wire with relay with the 9005 bulbs. Since they are almost twice the watts.
