Excellent write up. This is what I used to hook mine up.



And yes, I got bored enough and decided to paint the grills black

Sweet man.  Everything looks so much cleaner painted black.  The pics are from the 1st car...I painted the light rings black and wow, what a difference.  Good looking car there!  What bumper is that BTW?

Thanks, the bumper is the us bumper with an mtech II front valance. I was thinking about painting the rings black also but I was just excited to get the lights on. Your car looks like its coming along pretty well also. Did you finally get the probs you were having all sorted? Also, do you have any pics of the front with the black rings?

I will get out this weekend/maybe tomorrow & snap some pics.  The front end is ugly right now though...2 nights ago I must have pulled over a curb...I ran over my lip spoiler when it fell off on the street nearby.  Bummer....but the damage should be repairable.  Just one big crack in the plastic.  Nothing some fiberglass & Bondo cannot fix!

The direct link doesn't work anymore, but go to the main site and look under projects I believe.  You'll find it as D. Clay mentioned...
