headlight screws

[05 old dog]

got a hid comming from jake...was trying to get ready for it and cant tell what the 2 screws are in the bottom of headlight bucket...are they allen or torqx...they are both pretty knarled up...also got lots of chrome bubbling on bottom of bucket...thinking of just replacing bucket and starting over any one got a good outlet for new headlight bucket???...also got dyna beads commin has anyone used nitrogen in your tires instead of air? ive got a nitrogen inflation setup i use on my drag shocks. ive been told the n2 will make the tires run cooler...

they use nitogen in jet tires cuz not sure why?? check with our vendors or ebay has tons of buckets for sale!!! ohh the screws are allen

I had my tires filled & maintained with nitrogen, (without dyna beads) can't really tell if they run any cooler. But, I do have over 6k on this set of tires without any noticeable wear. My 03 Pit Bull had allen, on the bottom of my headlight bucket, before I swicthed it out for a differant style. Hope this helps.

Yes it is a very small Allen Screw.

I had mine open a few weeks ago. The front ring uses a .050 allen wrench.

It is a small allen but only take out the front one( closest to the lens ) do not undo the back one. Too remove the ring use 2 allen wrenchs stick in the holes and spin it off. If it has not been off in a long time you will never be able to do it with your hand. The key to the HID is Jake tiewraps the modules togther DO NOT UNDO THEM!!! you will see a wire loop, put that end into the cone of the bucket. Make your plug connections put 2 plugs to one side and one to the other so they are on different sides of the light. it should slide right in. put the ring back and make sure the light is in so the set screw will sit in the grove of the ring and you are good. just make sure you burn the light in properly the first time you put it on. Good Luck. and call Jake if you have questions or Problems he is great at helping.

Here's a link to a thread on this.....Buy a very good set of allen wrenches, a cheap set usually will not work. It's the front most set screw and I used a hair dryer to warm it up a bit and came loose without any issues.
