Default Okay... I finally finished the CLEAR CORNER mod.... (BWW)

...and I must say, I am pleased with the results. I even managed to fish the missing torx bit out of the engine bay ;-)

BTW... the new turn signals are silver (like the stealth), but they flash white. I bought them at a local truck parts store for $7 each.

Default plug those bumper plate holes!

How come you didn't get that done when you painted your lowers?

Default Re: plug those bumper plate holes!

Because they would have had to re-paint the entire bumper to do it right. That would have been an extra $300.

Besides, I am afraid that one day I'll really have to put that plate back on.

The holes don't bother me that bad.

Default Did you follow this tech write-up? How long did it take you (actual work time)?

Default Yeah, those holes do suck. I got those too. I took the cheap...

and temporary way out and used some grommet type plugs. Primed them, used touch up w/ clear coat. Tapped them in real snug and no more holes. Really not that bad but still suuucks. I'll post pics if you really want to see mediocracy.

BTW, I pick'd up the plugs from my local ACO, in the speciality (nuts/bolts) harware bins. 10c each.

Default No... that one is not for Xenons.

I used that write up as a reference, but I had to take out the high-beam instead of the low-beam bulb. Since the high-beam bulb hole is so small, I had to break up the reflector into tiny pieces in order feed it out. It was a PITA. I spent about 4 hours total... but most people do it 2. I was just slow and I ran into a few problems (e.g. dropping torx bits into the engine bay.).

The write up that you posted advocates taking out the low-beam "halogen" bulb. Well, I was not comfortable taking out my low beam "xenon" bulb.
