MJ, if you have to get a new battery, I think that would be a good move for sure. I think Jose's been running on an Optima battery, if memory serves me correctly.

BTW...You also need to buy some red bulbs for your brake lights. Your brake lights looked a little pinkish when we were following you the other night.

Nice, MJ! Hm, maybe it meant that the bumper won't fit your current reinforcement, but if you swap, I don't know why you would have a problem. Maybe someone else has more knowledge about this one.

if u look at the C32 clear fog, it looks like it will fit fine on my current reinforcement... it's just the lens portion that's oval, no?

You are correct. The mesh that surrounds the fog light will take care of the rest.
