Howd you take off headlight w/o removing bumper?

Also it might be the pic, but the black looks a bit ligher? not really a full dark black, maybe its the picture quality.

I think it's a perfect color for a DG car... Flat black or gloss black is too dark for DG.

I agree with the color matching... still better than stock though.

It (the black) is actually glossy not flat, hard to tell with the reflection and top cover...
