    You will need a 10mm socket with a swivel adapter on it... and a lot of patience!! A thin screwdriver is also helpful to unplug the connector from the relay.

    ======================================

    The main relay is located just right above the hood release, inside the dash panel bolted to the left kick panel with a bolt that will fit a 10 mm socket. It has seven wires from the connector.

    Remove the coin box (for clearer view)
    With a 10 mm socket or wrench
    Reach deep inside and at the top of the relay there you will feel a bolt.
    Unbolt it.
    Bring the relay down and unplug the connector by squeezing the lock flap and separate the connector from the relay.
    Installation is the reverse of the procedure, although it isn't require to bolt it back at its original spot. Move the relay to a low, suitable spot where it is cool and away from heat vents.

    I used a 10mm socket with a long extension. I removed the fuse panel to give me better access. It is only held on by two 10mm nuts.
    WTB: 4th and 5th gen OEM headlights and corners in good shape. Even single lights.
