Under the headlight, on the frame rail. Out of sight, clean install.

This is my '96. Only thing that needs to be removed is the headlight (I was doing a lot more work in this is why the bumper is off).

** the 92-94 Engine bay layout is a little different (the windshield washer fluid reservoir is larger)

for a better cut-off line, you should consider cleaning the projector lens, which becomes cloudy from dust over time.

Wow. Thanks for all the help guys ! I appreciate the photo examples

Now that I get this finished, i just need to purchase fogs.
And, has anyone ever bought yellow high beems? I'm refering to this kind in the link http://www.tunersdepot.com/Lighting/...4.html?yy=1996
if anybody has these, a photo would be nice

sorry to jack this thread, but ASG14 did you bypass the intake resonator with that velocity stack? or is that just your version of a "cold air intake"?

Just goes into the intake to push more cold air.

how did you get to it? did you have to remove the bumper or can you do it by removing the wheel and removing the liner inside the wheel wells?
