I'm patiently waiting. I want to see how difficult this is before I drop the cash to do it. I'm not a modder, I just play 1 in my daydreams.

haha, this will take some creativity on your part to install and I think it will be about 1000 times easier to use HID bulbs in place of the H9 that come with the system

Did the bumper have to come off? Was it driveable while you worked on it. Is it something that can be done over a weekend. Since this is Wifey's ride she'll need it back for work by Monday. thx
