Got the new headlights in, PITA silver grill/bumper filler with push pins to attach at bottom of grill. All releasing and reinstalling of those pins is done blind from above by releasing all other grill bolts and screws and lean it out and then took a clip to find the push clip heads and pry down and pull the pins out. Got the headlights installed and then reinstall pins from below, strictly by feel. I have said before that I have eyes in the end of my fingers. Installed new under hood light and wired in and then replaced the roll out engine bay light and verified both work fine. Then on to the engine oil cooler lines. Changed the adaptors at the oil filter housing. 26mm wrench to break loose. early this morning, I hit them with PB Blaster and let it work at the threads while I did the other work. The lower adaptor cane out after breaking loose and then using a 26mm socket. No such luck with the upper adaptor. Could not slip the thin wall socket between the adaptor and the rolled lip of the oil pan. Had to do 1/8th turns with my wrench and then finally loose enough to unthread with fingers. Routed the new lines and attached at the stand off and then threaded in at the radiator. Topped off lost oil and ran for 15 minutes at idle and no leaks. Road test and checked and no leaks. 4 total hours for everything.[ATTACH=full]3535[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]3536[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]3537[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]3538[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]3539[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]3540[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
