thats sorta what i thought. getting those top 3 bolts seems impossible without the lights out. infact im pretty sure i removed the headlight bracket too when i did it

How are yours only that bad? Mine on my redline which had just under 71k when I did it about a month ago, were 10x worse. Went with the Powell ones though since I know they won't have any issues now. Not to mention John installed them himself.

Because I acquired a set of fe5 arms from ecaulk that I'm refreshing. Saves a couple bucks which I need right now. That was my first option before I went the route I did.
