I have them on my car. Great lights. They're easy to install with the exception of getting the wires through the firewall/dash. I chose a different path. A friend helped me. It took about 2.5 hours but that was with several beer breaks.

there's a how to in the interior/exterior mods section. :smile:


the hardest part on mine was cutting the aero bumper grill a little bit
to force the bracket to fit. :smile: If you have the non-aero grill, no need to
cut anything. it's relatively easy to do...really not much to it.

Easy as can be. The only problem is drilling the holes in the hood. Don't drill too hard or you will dent the visible part of the hood. Also, it worked best for me to drill one hole, install the bracket with one bolt and use the mounted bracket to aid in drilling the remaining two holes. The rest is cake!
