The bumper has to come off to swap the headlight?

Yup two of the bolts live behind the bumper.

Yeah. see the longest fixing bracket that hangs down under the light...

Well even if you can manage to remove the bolts from it without removing the bumper, you still can't unthread it without removing the bumper. The slam panel kind of cradles over the top of the light too, so the light needs to go down several mm before it will come forward and out to.

You find a lot of breakers live up to their names by simply breaking the lower brackets off when they remove them from the car (whether by accident I don't know). This could be an option as then you only need to remove the top fixings of the bumper, loosen the bumper bar and flex it down enough, but I don't really want broken fixings

Wow! I'm impressed a half attempt at cutting a hole and a start on some headlights!

That hole is huge though! Do you really need it that big? The rubber grommet thing looks like a CV boot - inventive indeed! A little jealous of the rewiring attempts though, I've put that on hold for now.

Thought you'd be impressed Rob

It is big, but then so is the bulk of connectors on the end of the harness. The gaitor is a similar size to a CV boot, but it's also as durable, so should work well in supporting the harness through the bulkhead.

Only pulling your leg - I bet the firewall isn't easy to cut that big a hole in to be fair!

Get your point on the connectors, I guess you need something big enough - I like it.

Not with my blunt cutter it isn't

And where I'm cutting is actually a couple plys thick, so I have to cut quick deep too

Lmao why on earth would I think your a pedo hahahaha

Loving the headlight plan though, I've always wanted something like that, they look epic on supra's. That would work awesome with a bmc aswell....
