Looks very slick. How hard was to replace the round to oval lighting? how much did you pay and where did you buy from?

Conversion is very easy to do. The bumper is configured to accept either lamp. It requires trimming with a razor and moving some clips.

Cost 150 per lamp assembly and 100 per chrome insert. I bought OEM lamps; others are available for less.
