not sure what you meen where did I get them or how am I mounting them k2motor all ready to install $118.00, an I measured them to my 99 healights exact except these are led wich everyones going to now,I got headlights an right left mounts with upper an lower total of 3 brackets for each light total 6 , then looks like a few bolts an nuts just a bit of drilling,the the fog light attach to the bottom of each bracket right an left in the first pic ,then that kind bolt nut I will get for the other 3 ,then you can see on my 99 how the attach the little curl actually connects to the fender like said just some hardware the bolt in pic 4 I will take to home depo also the same bolt for fogs an attaching to the car as well one side goes behind the radiator bracket that will hol them on the car looks like 2 to 4 holes to drill, like I say glad I got the 99 to look at to know exacly where to bolt to the radiator mounting plate,heck you can pay $118.00 for the bulbs.i am sure my freind will have some good input for this part,will try to make it one trip HD

Default New painted parts

well got the right color exact ,grille fits good in hood ,we will do this one day when its above 60,plastic an fiber glass flex better when warm ,the sun heats up my garage ,not takeing the rest of the plastic off till install , the reflections look like spots ,but over all looks good ,nothings perfect ,even from the body guy ,unless you spend tons of money ,now its just do it time ,hopeing week after next if weather is good ,had to borrow my friends truck an meet them down the road R+L wont go over a bridge that's close .we were just going to walk the pallet the 1/8th mile to the house but he was home ,it was packed realy well,i was a bit worried the bumper cover would not have the indent for gm badge but it does they said it would

well got alot of it taken apart today by myself it was easyer then I thought ,all 10mm bolts an some rivets ,looks like some of the brackets need to be tweaked the impact absorber did its job .now just the imapact absorber an headlight assembly is mostly off,i guess why not to many do this as write up ,is cuz so far not to hard ,but I will feel it,i will take out the water shields an put the new ones in ,then when my friend comes to help me put it back together will tweak some thing then ,but is not that bad at all looked worse then it was

these show not much damage was mostly cosmetic ,that bracket can be reused ,they just need tweaking ahead ,the ones attached to the plastic will tweak too ,next I will finish pulling the headlight assembley ,an may be able to use the left over bolts for the new healight brackets will hit the radiator plate a few time gently with a small sledge but no frame damage pull the old impact bumper an measure both sides to make its straight ,I may need some clips ,got plenty of plastic rivets ,an will install the new splash shields ,there are 4 bolts holding them on real easy to replace ,then hopeing one day next week get my friend over to help me put it back together an tweak anything I missed ,after that buff the paint an put the new badging on ,an get her back on the road,stay tuned my 1800 silent partners without you what else would I do

thanks for the idea ,but going to keep them its just going to be an around town car for now then mabey like 50 mile to 80 mile trip on a good day car ,the 3800 is better for long rides an has AC ,though today is the day my friend is headed over now .I got the impact bumper off yesterday got to tweak the end a bit I will try to take as many pics as possible ,but its been 95% 10 mm bolts ,an these few days of nice weather we go back to cooler sat ,so just having it close to ready ,I am thinking after today it will be road ready ,then come back an buff later on or tomorrow if it works out that way,i been kinda spontaneous ,was going to do it next week but scott was ready today, wait for the emblems an that good stuff later ,just get it together for now ,getting the big hammer out for passngers side ,will take pic of that ,heat it up an tweak that's the body guys job an I will work on takeing out the old spash guards ,put the turn signal in the bumper cover you have to do that first then put new slash guards in ,puthe 98-02 impact bumper on fender bumpcover an air dam plastics ,all the lights will plug right up no wireing to be done an I think just 4 holes to drill for headlights ,then 2 more for hood pins later if we think I need them

passengers side mostly theres a picture at my garage under ralley red ,today we got the fenders mocked up nice fit ,honestly I think these conversions are not as easy as the write up was said to be an we are working with painted parts too match was good ,the hood will fit nice ? I am am not sure if the hood hinges are the same the look the same but the holes one is made for adjusting the other not that was dumb he will make them adjustable to move forward ,so there getting modified to fit better the holes are more forward for some reason on my 99 we measured ,the glass hood is 6mm thick to 3mm for metal so down all well ,then looks like the bumper cover will line up fine ,then this summer I want to paint the whole car for about $700.00 all purple with red badgeing ,my red one is all red ,so I think all these conversions will be different ,from one to another ,,an former accidents ,may play a role ,that plastic is hard to work with ,don't give like metal ,but lines up nice in the picture ,I think why we don't see that many of these is because they will vary from car to car
