Install Meet?

Were gonna install TBK's springs tonight over at 9k's work. If anyone is bored and wanna check it out, text me. Also if you got anything you wanna do, there will be a few hands to help. Limiting this to only 8's, and no friends please. Unless they are riding with you of course.

Cool, now you need spacers to push out those stockers. Nice Nismo.

That would be easier but basically you have to remove the fender liner to the the bulbs out. I have to go somewhere tonight so I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with one headlight out.

Do you turn the wheels to get at it? Also, I didn't really look at the liner too much but I don't wanna rip it or anything so I wanna take my time.

ya just turn the wheel the opposite direction of the bulb your doing, take off the liner, take the bulb out, put new one in and its done.
