    Got my lights today. So for wiring should I put all the red wires together and just tap into the green wire in drivers side parking light and then all blacks together and just ground it to metal somewhere? Thanks!

    Quick tip for anyone having trouble separating the grill from the grill surround...use some paper shims to hold the clips open:

    I have some 5mm wide led strips placed behind the raised lip at the top of the headlights.

    I like my lights. Did you notice the turn signal/mirror lights?
