Re: Reverse Lights are Overrated

wow, i absolutly love it If i had that bezel i would have so done that, you should get HID's or LED's in there and make it blue when its one. Looks great dude, really really great. i wish i could do that to my front bumper and get rid of the fog/day lighjts

Re: Reverse Lights are Overrated

i used vinal wrap... my buddy owns a sign shop and he gave it to me at his cost..i have a little left im gonna wrap my fogs and signals and the reflectors on the front bumper or whatever they are called. might even do the headlights. if anyone wants some of this let me know. but remember its not a perfect match but its damn close..

oh and this is the first thing i have ever put this on...its harder than you would think but i did a good job...you need 2 people my girlfriend helped

Re: Reverse Lights are Overrated

SO HERE IS HOW I DID IT...
remove the bezle... seperate it ...spray it with soap and water..put the vinal on and make sure its bigger than what you need....take out all the air bubbles...wrap the vinal around the edges..trim and put back together. i still have to silicone it to seal it properly but it was about 2 rain last night and didnt want the bulbs to get wet.

Re: Reverse Lights are Overrated

I wonder if black or silver are closer color matches. Its a really sweet mod call it "reverse light delete"!

silver would probably be the easiest to match, im sure there is a better match for the white but this is the best we could find out of the 200+ page sample book he had.
im gonna work on the fogs and other yellow lights tomorrow..maybe play with the tail lights...?
anyone wanta send me a link to a fog light removal and ETA of how long it will take to take them out and put them back?
