Well considering my headlamp brackets have gone to waste rock auto has that 5% discount and am looking to buying them from there, its roughly 40 some dollars which includes shipping. I figure this is a must before I try buying new headlights and installing HID's into them. How hard is it to replace the brackets in there? I've never had to do that before and am wondering if anyone else has. Im getting paid on friday so I figured why not use it to get some nice brackets.

I have remove bracket before. It is not hard. Let me see my bracket sitting in dust. lol

After look at them. All you have to remove 2 bolts from headlight and 1 long screw for remove turn signal. That's pretty much what I can see from my old headlight.

are you sure if the rockauto brackets are OEM and not aftermarket? The aftermarket brackets are junk, you don't want them. I would go to a junkyard and grab the brackets there.

I agree. My aftermarket left headlight bracket is broken for no reason. I just noticed it shakes like crazy. I just like wtf. I remove and see crack bracket. So use OEM brackets like I swap mine so no problem for me now.

It's easy. Just go to a junkyard and grab a couple and save yourself a bunch of money.
