    a midway pic for comparison.....

    and a final pic.....

    not the best pics, but everyone can see the difference in the smoked 09 lights compared to the BHLM's. on a side note, if anyone wants to do the BHLM and an AP bumper, do the lights earlier b/c it is a bitch to get that bottom headliht bolt out w/ this bumper on...even more than the stock. i had to remove the fog lights in order to twist my arm around and get that bolt out. worth the effort, but still a bitch to do. now i've got to clean up the 09's box them up, and ship them to PR for a fellow member that swapped w/ me

    I'm partial to the stock smoke but BHLM looks pretty good here.

    man up and do it!!! lol. i was the same way when i did them on the 07 and it was easy besides the gut feeling when sticking them in the oven

    i got a good look at it this afternoon and it really ties in the black of the bumper. next thing will be to black out the grey grille center

    Yea, that's why it looks good here. But if you take a white one or SWB :)rolleyes:) and change it from smoked to BHLM with black bumpers where the tails are still stock smoked (cause CA won't let you black 'em out) then it'll look kinda odd.
