    dude honestly, its not hard, 5-6 clips to remove, 4 underneath, and 2 on the inner portion of the bumper cap. i picked the fasteners off with a flathead screwdriver. then you gotta pop the plastic bumper off the chrome caps to be able to pull back on the bumper caps, you will hear a few pops, 3 for the black plastic, and about 2 -3 for the chrome piece. the metal bracket the holds the upper corner broke on both of mine. they won't effect the ability to hold it into place when they are reinstalled. @Rob Daman has some good DIY videos for this mod on youtube.. or you can mssg him on IG. @Rob Daman

    I was using HIDs for the Low Beams but VLED now has a Micro LED that is awesome so I have removed the HIDs and put in the Micros from VLEDS so far so good, maybe, just maybe, the HIDs were a bit brighter, but not much,and I got rid of a ton of wiring for the HIDs. Very happy!

    I have no fucking idea. I feel as if they should have a menu option like NikeID shoes.... so we can choose exactly what we want.

    Its located under the driver side kickplate up under the bottom of the dash (behind where you pop the hood). Theres a bank of 3 relays next to a computer?. You need the middle one. I ran a wire from here out a firewall plug behind the master cylinder to the rear tail light cavity. Then to both led strips. No drilling, 100% reversible. Theres some good info if you google cargo light circuit.

    I recommend it! I didnt know it was going to be so nice until i did it. I just leave my lamp switch on "door" and set the lights timer to 30s in the radio. Pretty handy being able to press the fob button to turn them on.

    I wish people could accept that they missed their turn or whatever and go around to the next turn instead of selfishly endangering everyone else.
