That is bad work and I would hold them accountable to repair the leather.

I am not sure how the lights went out because they are all in the connectors. He should have never disturbed the wires on the connectors.

Make sure you stand over him, don't release the car to them.

Also, I bet he spliced into the reverse lights for the backup camera command voltage. When he could have used the connector on the ECU in the trunk.

Here is the link, see post 15.

I did stay with him and didn't leave the car unattended. It turns out that a ribbon had disconnected. Once he reconnected it, all was fine with the lights. Still not sure what to do about the hole in the leather, but he did deny doing it.

I installed my Custco bar also,but hadn't driven the car yet. Most of the members that have them, say that you'll be able to tell a bigger difference when driving with the top down. The installation of the rear sway will be noticed immediately ....my front sway is sitting on the shelf, but hoping to get to it next week

Good mod Cube. I had to have mine sitting on the plastic cover using tiny legs glued on cos I did not remove the reflector and could not find a way to attach the LED boards. Think my LED boards are 9 SMD like yours and very bright. Very good mod. Also get the door lights and the courtesy lamps in the footwells. And the trunk interior lights. Easy to do and very impactful.

Default Zainoed my Baby

Nothing like Zaino to bring out the shine!!!! It seems like a lot more people used to talk about cleaning products than they do now. Zaino has always been considered a top of the line polish for car show polish, but it is crazy expensive. Its the only thing I've used on this baby and no one else touches it. 32k miles on it now. Spent the day polishing the exterior and conditioning the leather!

thanks, OBP. my LED set came with a double sided 3M tape. so it was easy for me to set it where the reflectors were. Retro recommended the set. i have to agree it was an easy install and fun too. yup, i will move on to the others but i need more LEDs to compete to transformation.
