    This is gonna be off the top of my head but I'll help as much as I can.
    Take off the black plastic above the grill(plastic screws)
    Take off the grill(use a flat head screwdriver(4 clips))
    Take off the corner lights(1 nut on-top of the headlight then give it a tug or push it out from the inside)
    Take the bulb out of the corner by turning it and pulling it out
    There are 4 bolts in the headlight itself(they can come out with a ratchet and I think a 12mm socket, you will also need a 6in. extension
    Unplug the headlight by squeezing the black plug.

    Tools:
    ratchet
    12mm(or 10mm not sure) socket
    flat head screwdriver
    phillips head screwdriver

    I don't have any pics and not 100% sure if I'm leaving anything out but this is a start. I recommend the 1st gen. headlight process. It helped mine a good amount. I need to go back to them because you can tell which one I did more sanding on(it's clearer, I guess that's proof that it works). *I am not liable for anything you break but it's not a hard task.

        It's not as much work as you think. If you took them right out and put them right back in, it'd probly take about 15 mins.
        I like the JLs but some people say otherwise. I heard them in my friends truck and it sounded pretty good. I bought them from him when he didn't want them anymore. I'm not sure what exact model they are. I can get more out of them than I do. If I'd do it again I'd get only one and drive the heck out of it. I've been debating selling one of them and buying a different box and seeing what I can do with it.

            Check my site...it'll be this weekend before I can get the part no. off of them. Not positive I wanna sell them yet. Just been debating if I wanna do something different or not.
