ok well i found the installation instructions on this...but now i have an issue...one of the previous owners of my car obviously didnt read there owners manual about where to jack the car up becuase the place where they did (front fender/behind wheel) is all mangled/bent up...so now i cant get my damn fenders off....does anyone here have any ideas/tips on how to get these bolts off...problem is they are bent so badly that i cant get a socket/wrench/or screwdriver in ther to loosen the bolt...i was thinkin maybe heat the metal an bend it back...but i have no tools to do this (the heating part)...

HELP

What model 240 is it? If it’s an s14 u don’t need the headlight brackets or anything special. All u have to do is take out the old ones remove the stock fenders and install the new ones hold the headlights up to the radiator support and see were the projector back housing hits and cut a circle hole were it hits. All the holes and bolts are right were the light holes and bolts line up. Mad easy the only hard part is the wiring witch is nothing more then time consuming. Bolt them right up and align the front bumper at the same time even the bumper bolts to the existing headlight brackets that come on the S15 headlights.
