Default dreading this day.....

i was def dreading the day that i would go through the car wash or a heavy rain storm and see condesation in my headlights...... i just didnt wanna take of the front bumper to get the headlights off and reseal them..... i have done painted housing on these cars and halo kits and always dread taking the bumper off..... i guess my 2 questions for you guys are.... as much as i searched is there any way to get the lights out without bumper removal..... and while i have the lights out should i just bake them and do a black housing.... one more question if i decided to swap out my 430 headligjhts wiith autolevel with 300 lights with no auto level would any lighjts pop up on the dash because autolevel plug was disconnected??? thanks fellas....

There is one bolt under the light behind the bumper you can reach it from the wheel well.
I think in the DIY section there is a link .

I don't think any lights result of the level being removed.

Here you Go....

Take the bumper out and save yourself from breaking any tabs from the headlights.

Exactly you will get the error light if it's not connected.

In that case I guess I might be just resealing these..... I hate seeing any dash lights on that would bother me every time I got in the car. Good looking out fellas....
