Hello chaps,

Anyone here can give me a quick guide line of where to start removing the headlight? I've purchased a clear glass 7" headlights for a Nissan Patrol 98, I've also integrated lens and HID system into it. They are much better than the aftermarket solutions I've seen so far. Now I need to install these in my rig. This may save me time exploring how to remove my stock headlights easiest way. Pictures will follow soon http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I looked at emoving mine a while ago to add strobes,never did though. If I remember right you have to remove the brushguard and grille, then unbolt the headlite bucket and remove the assembley from the front. I could be wrong but I didnt see any other way of doing it. Good luck.

Well chaps, I done it and I'm very happy with my bixenon headlights. I had earlier replaced the bulbs into bi-xenon. The original H2 headlight projectors are of worst quality and the reflective coating burned due to heat. I bought a cheap Hella 7" projectors (same for the Jeep) and fitted them.

The great thing was the calibration of the lights. I made two new wholes at the plastic molding covering the projector. These wholes are centered with the calibration bolt for the horizontal light adjustment which normally you can't access unless you remove the brush guard and the chrome grill. I will post the images tomorrow.
