Glad to hear it went ok and the satisfaction of completing it yourself just adds to the experience. Post up some pics Lisa and share any thoughts on your install.

The install took me awhile b/c of all the clips that had to be taken out for the carpet. I was being very careful so that I didnt break them and trying to make sure i'd remember what i took off so that when i put it back on, i would know exactly where it belongs. Once i got the first light one w/ the harness...the other side was way way easier. The ECU, it was a lot easier then i thought it would be. I did have my laptop in the trunk in front of me the whole time. Lee, ur pics were very very helpful. I couldn't have done it w/o ur help. I thank u!

Here is a pic i took in the garage, since i can't move the car b/c it only has 3 wheels on it. so its a lil cramped. sorry..when im able to wash and wax i will def. post up more pics. I also did replace that chrome piece trim u gave me the part # to. THanks!

It was a good four hours, but with some breaks and at a slow pace. Plus I had to keep washing my hands so interior stayed clean.

Lisa has the connections!


Lisa, you must be feeling proud right now. Glad to be of help.

Good idea tip Billy on washing the hands to keep things clean.

Good things come to those who wait. I don't know why I said that. I guess everyone was telling me that last year when I was waiting for my wheels for over 3 months.
