I order the DTM bumper from GMP yesterday. It does not have the side marker lights. Do you have to leave the bulbs in the sockets and tuck them away somewhere to not throw a bulb code? Do the driving lights that come with the bumper directly plug into the current driving light plugs. Finally what is an average/fair price to paint and install the new bumper. Thanks!

Yes you will need to tuck the side markers away, dont know which driving lights you are talking about i think that bumper does have fog lights as far as i seen and as far as painting should be more then 400 for painting and about 200 for installation and all with polish.

The bumper has LED driving lights. Hoping they plug into the OEM connector for the fog lights.

Is it made of fiberglass or urethane?

The LED's does not connect to the OEM plugs so you need to wire the LED's to the battery
What I did is I connect them directly to the battery and got switch under the steering wheels so its easy to turn them on and off whenever I want them.

Also you need the take of the bulbs and don't leave them they might burn anything down there and if you take off the bulbs they gonna throw code I don't know if resistors going to do the trick !

And here's mine

Fiberglass.
Your car looks great!
So you took out the fog light bulbs and the side marker bulbs? Are you saying you do have codes showing for these bulbs? Did you try cutting the OEM connectors and splicing in the LED lights? I was hoping to use the fog light switch to control the new LEDs. Thanks for the info!

Faris63

Thanks
Yes I took the fog lights and the side bulbs, and there's codes showing
I didn't try to connect the LED's to the OEM connectors

By the way, the bumper need to be modified to fit perfect

jim07

That is one of the things I hate about fiberglassed products in the front and they fact they crack/shatter when impacted.
