That means I need to figure out the right sequence on my own.

Do you mean replacing the light bulb head light or the whole bucket, etc? If you write something up, can you include how to adjust how much the headlight cover retracts to make it even with the hood?

Yeah, what exactly are you looking for? I've done mine twice in the short time I've owned the car, and adjusted them many times (since we just slapped them in after paint and neglected lock washers). I thought it was fairly straightforward. Now I'm about to get rid of them entirely. Incidentally anyone in the market for an H4 conversion?
Edit: I just remembered one thing I screwed up: It's much easier if you connect the electrics before you install the headlight pivoty things into the bucket |

Hey who you thinking your talking to...I was looking for detailed EVERYTHING. My headlights have been out of the car for years. Thankfully, I have another car to study and figure things out. I took photos of the process along the way and when I get some time I'll create a thread for future reference.
Today I went from here  to here  |
