Default Headlight Help

Okay so here is the deal... I have 2 brand new headlights that I need to install in my 03 STR, and I am not comfortable tackling this one alone... If anyone is close by the Cincinnati Metro area and would be interested in making a couple of extra "C-Notes" for Christmas and could help me with this latest project please PM me!

Yeah... That's a bit outside the Cinti Metro area... ;-)

I know its a fairly simple process and I have read the sticky on it, but still not comfortable tackling this one, I just had the whole front end rebuilt (thanks to a semi truck throwing a tire on the interstate) and dont want to mess it up!

Nope Xenon HIDs.

I have to replace the entire headlight housing so the bumper cover has to come off. I have read up on it and it doesnt appear too difficult, but with the recent investment on the front end rebuild I really want someone who knows what they are doing involved...

Road trip to the Charlotte area?

If you have access to the tools listed in the write up, its really not that bad of a job, more intimidating than anything.
