Default will these headlights install easy?

Will these bolt right in without making a custom bracket or any other modifications like that? I mean I can cut a bolt off that is a little long or somethin that is no big deal but I mainly just want something that will be easy. I have heard that if they are 2 peice then they bolt right in, but if they are one peice they will not fit right. From what I can tell in the pics they look like 2 peices. I saw another company that looks like the exact same head lights, just higher price, that say there are selling 4 peices, so that would be 2 peice headlights.

they will bolt right in, they are 2 piece lights. if im not mistaken, there are 2 bolts that hold in each corner, and they just slide out. and then there are 2 adjustable pegs that hold in the headlights and have clips that attach them. just make sure you adjust your headlights when you put them back in. easiest way to do this is when you are installing them, have the car in front of a wall and mark on the wall where the stock headlights are aimed, and then when you install the new ones, just make sure they are aimed at this point. make sure you dont move the car during the process though.

They look sweet.

I got some smoked ones for my 97 after one was attacked by a cart @ Home Depot.

did you apply some silicone sealant around the seals? If not, they more than likely will start to condensate in the near future...

Happened to two of my ebay headlights before i was told this tip. Got my 3rd set in the mail right now [:@]

good idea...i dropped the one and put a small crack....i siliconed it but i didnt think to do the back since they have a rubber thing on the headlight

did ur headlights have a rubber drain on the back.....all 4 of these have what looks like a condensation drain hose on the back....its just a lil rubber hose

they look great. and i would prob put some silicone around all the places where the plastic seals together just in case. i bought some ultra clear ebay headlights and have had no problems with condensation for 4 years now (knock on wood). but i would do it just in case
