e-code install suggesttion/ tip for the perfectionists:

>use the good 3M masking tape (blue color) to tape/ protect the top of the plastic bumpers & chrome pieces below the headlight units and any places you wish protected during the sliding out and inserting the new units

>a couple of rags to also protect the extraneous body pieces as may need to lean over the car on occasion

>latex/rubber gloves helps keep hands clean during the install while also ensuring that your bulbs w/ not collect oil from handling (alcohol may be needed to clean the glass bulbs prior to final install to ensure the cleanest surface)

>windex/ quick detailer for after-install clean up

>bring a roll of elec wire to do the city-lights (naturally solder, wire cutter/stripper, eye protection, and soldering iron too)- I used a small scrap piece of wood board over a rag as my worksurface over the car to wiring up the city lights

>take your time and enjoy the install

hope this helps
