Did you do the front bumper installation yourself? How easy is it to remove and install the newer one?

Lights came in yesterday so I thought I should get cracking on them before the snow comes in

out of the box, onto the work bench



lenses off



bezels out



before prep masking



Painted bezels, before final clean







Lights will be finished today, I'll update the thread with finalized pictures later.

S500 man..............

How did you get the DRL's to work on the facelift. I would like to do the same setup, but I have heard that the engine light will come on because the fogs are not working.

That's not true, all you have to do is tap into the side marker lights and you're golden.
