If you do the headlights, might as well do the whole front, include the bumper with tyhe new fogs. Right?

fogs you can reuse. you will need a new upper grille, bumper, chrome trim pieces for bottom of bumper.

i will just be doing the headlights now though with my existing front end.. still fit fine but snug.. i planned on doing a complete Aimgain body kit for it this summer sometime and body work to fit some aggressive wheels.

Well the light bulb indicator was finally getting to me. So I did the taping and am happy now. It is straight forward and used the directions from pearlpower's original 06+ tails thread.

Here's my DIY on the elimination of the light bulb indicator:

Set your steering wheel all the way down and up.

Pull the CM garnish, the trick is to pull from the left down corner 1st, then proceed clockwise. Put a rag on top of the steerig wheel to protect both sides.

Unclip the connector on the garnish and set aside (clean it before re-assembly).

There are 4 bolts on the CM. Use magnetic screw driver to make sure screw stays and do not fall on the dash. Disconnect the connector, use needle nose plier, take your time be careful.

CM:

Unclip the garnish to reveal the front of the CM.

Peak under the right side indicator, peel off the right upper corner, your target is the 2nd hole from the left.

Prepare your .5 x 0.5 inch tape and tape over the square hole.

Re-assemble back.

Note: Clean the garnish before re-assembly, you do not want alien stuff in there, it will **** you off (happened to me, had to re-do)!

Then...the tape

Take your time. No need to break any of the tabs.

mandy, on your last pic, what is that harness on the bottom left for?

mandyfig

That was for the mileage. You need to disconnect before you can pull the garnish out.

you did all that to put tape??? lol i just put a piece of electrical tape on the plexi glass part.. all that work you did you should have just taken out the bulb for it :P i'm planning on doing it but im lazy :P great write up though!

LED bulb, too much work to take it out, if it is even feasible. Lots of guys tried, nobody has done the removal of the LED light for the indicator.

This DIY is so easy. No more lights.

on the 2002-2005 there isnt any bulbs to take out..

mandyfig

Yup, hence the tape was the only way to get rid of the light.
