Default Installing 9SMT Parking Lights..

I have the DIY instructions printed out and the manual good to go.

Anything I should know before I go ahead with this installation?

Check the Faq theres a detailed guide in there.

MAKE SURE YOU DONT LOSE THE BULB INTO THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING.

Thats a fair warning. It seems like A LOT of people have lost the bulb in there including me So Just be careful and as llama would say "have some electrical tape in handy if it fits loosly"

Where would I put the electrical tape?

im guessing with the bulb and the parking light electrical cable. Just tape it so if you accidently hit the LED against something it wont fall into the headlight housing. the Driver side is the most time consuming.

personally, take some precaution, but jus open the hood and get it done, only takes ten, twenty mins tops, real easy mod, good luck
