^Lol haha. 
Yeah I decided to change my username, wanted something different. 
Taking the grille off was hard at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. There are 2 clips being held on by the bumper, and like 5 clips below the grille holding it. You take a flathead screwdriver and go under the clip, and twist 45 degrees. Then pull forward fairly hard. Grille should pop out.

Got my corners back and they look pretty cool... i'll try to take some pics tonight and post em. Except now they're much brighter than the headlight so i don't know about that!!!
Does anyone notice that the headlights look much whiter/brighter once they get turned on and eventually fade to regular amber?!?!
Idk if i just need new bulbs or think of another solution!

yeah but i don't think they're as bright as they use to be because i don't think HID's are suppose to loose their brightness after being on for a while (and by while i mean like 20 min or so!)
Nice Hossam! If you get the lights tinted, they won't be as bright. My corners lights match the headlights and are a little dimmer. Also, I would upgrade the HID bulbs to either 5K or 6K. I've got 6K and I love em. Here is a picture of my headlight setup. 6k headlights and 3K foglights. Much thanks to Janik for getting my fogs to work. 
Also, don't mind the corner lights. This picture was taken before I had the LED strips put in.

Actually HID's don't lose brightness. They're an extremely high heat bulb, which is why you see them in the range of 5k-8k with the colors going from amber all the way to blue.
Your car is an '07 right? There's no way your HID's through your projectors should be an amber tint...
He has the stock 4300k bulbs is what I am assuming. They look perfect right when they start up, but quickly warm to that nasty amber yellowish color. They all do that because the heat of HID bulbs fluctuates so much.
Solution? Get 6k bulbs. Normally I am a 5k person because I like the 'classy' look (like a BMW or Mercedes) versus's like 8k+ because thats generally what i see on Civics and the like.
What Josh has is identical to my setup and I love it. More blueish white than the nasty yellow stock, but not overly blue.

My projectors do the same thing Hossam. After the initial surge, the color does change a little bit more amberish in color. I think I will go with a 5k bulb next year. That's probably going to be the best match with the side marker and DRL lights I'm running-Otherwise it does look more amberish compared to those.
I'm gonna help him with the headlights sometime soon hopefully, all this overtime my work is making me do is insane I work like 60 hours a week lol ****kkkkk!
