Its pretty easy, you just have to cut the holes out slightly bigger behind the headlights so they can be adjusted in farther.

yeah it didnt take me to long to do mine,i had it on in under an hour.just take the headlight bucket out and trim the hole to be wider.it took me a few tries but it was easier than i expected.

damn hybri, where you been?

i've got a phantom on my 89 and it isn't to bad. the right way to do it would be to cut a square around the headlight mount and build a square box with the headlamp mount welded to the back and weld it all up to the back of the radiator support where the stock location is.

if that makes any since. i suck at explaining things.
