What's next? Fogs with park lights? Or better yet, fogs on demand straight to ignition on.

Should be fogs. Lol. The tech that worked on the car is good with electrical and loves it according to him. He said he was going to assist me in figuring it out. We need to meet up one of these days for a beer or two if you drink. Lol

While you are figuring the fogs, I will do my caliper painting and decal, so take your time. But knowing you, it will be quick.

Final 4 pics, the challenge was to disconnect the old harness and connect the new one, as mention, while you yank the trim, have somebody do the chore for you.

Special thanks to the forerunners on the 06+ LED tails.

Now if we can just have some decent top down weather, it will be bliss!

The weekend is looking good in ATL.
