    But it's not me who was owned. I know not to ask questions unless I really can't find the answer anywhere else.

    It just occurred to me that the above statement is a complete lie.

    It's REALLY not that hard... You just have to not be afraid to cut out your stock wiring. I had no clue what I was doing when I first did it and it only took me about 20 minutes to figure it out.

    I thought you'd just stick the wires in the socket for the high and low beams.

    I'll take pics of it soon. Really not much to it. Remember I have mine wired to a separate switch. If you don't even use your high beams a lot you can leave it off for a while. You can swap the dual filament bulbs into the 02 lights and retain the highs/lows on one bulb, and leave the high beam spot empty.

    Ok I figured out the wiring but now I need help with something...

    Red = Buying soon
    Green = Bought
    Orange = Confused about part

    Here is the parts list:
    01-02 Fenders
    01-02 Headlights
    01-02 Corner Lights
    01-02 Bumper
    01-02 Bumper Mounting Arms
    01-02 bumper Mounting Bracket (goes behind metal bumper bar, see below)
    Two 9005 bulbs
    Two 9006 bulbs
    Two 9005 sockets
    Two 9006 sockets

    My question is.... I have been looking for arms/brackets on google and could only find this:
    http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1432912,parttype,12236,a,Search+for+TRW

    What do I buy from rockauto?? the arms say rear! :deskflip:

    You don't need the "bumper mounting bracket" you just need the arms for the corners, because the 98-00 ones are too short to work on a 01-02 bumper

    If you want a gap between your parking lights and bumper then dont get the bumper mounting brackets.
    Mounting arms are useless. I think i still have mine.

    Yeah those little arm things that connect the bottom corners of the bumper to the unibody aren't needed.

    If you want a "proper" front end conversion, get them. They are not needed, but the corners of the bumper will be a little floppy. Are you gonna lower your car at all? If so, leave them off. If not, get them.
