I just got my lights today and I was wondering if anyone has installed a set of these?

If so does anyone have any tips on the installation since mine didn't come with instructions?

Thanx

heads or tails? i got both

rear is easy, pop off the covers in the trunk, 2 bolts and jiggle it off

front is harder-take off the bumper and grille, the headlight turn signal that comes with it duznt fit so your gunna have to file the hole bigger (it looks like a cross, make sure to make one "cross section" bigger so it fits in and locks). put a cloth or something inside so the shavings won't get in, theyre hard to get all out. then your just gunna have to splice the wires to get the led workin with the turn signals

Thanks showpaojoe. The only wire that needs splicing is the led one? So I just cut off the plug it comes with nad splice it to the turn signal wires?

i still haven't played around with mine yet so i got my led on all the time with the headlight, i didnt know at the time it was for turn signals

as for mine, i spliced every wire in case i wanted to put back the stock headlights so no cutting of the stock wiring was involved.

No not yet I think what I'm gonna do is leave the side lights on always and just connect the LED's as the turn signals, but that's for tommorrow.

Man somebody needs to make something especially for the box. I don't likw all of this splicing stuff. I've also heard they don't aim the right way.

I'm just chicken when it comes to mods :oops:

Yeah I wanted to ask showpaojoe how his lights aiming was. I just got a chance to see them at night and they look to be very disaligned.


Showpaojoe what do your lights alignment look like?
