    Default Fitting black altezza headlights to 98 clubsport

    I have bought a set of black altezza headlights from ebay.From looking at the cd manual(dosnt specificly show my clubby) that i have and checking out the car (98 hsv clubsport) it would appear that i need to remove the front bumper to install them.Probably a silly question but i was wondering if anyone has done this and also if it will effect the airbags by removing the front bumper.

    na man i removed the bumper no drama with the airbags, if in doubt just take the battery terminal off, takes about 10-15mins not a hard job mate 3 bolts each light and 8 screws for the bumper. hope this helps

    Front lights look awesome on it.I have already changed the rear lights to series 2 vt lights and they look good like this.

    I know that you have completed the job but just for furure reference, the sensors for the air bags are located in the SRS module below the centre console, not behind the bumper.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
