Installed all LED lights... Rear Turn signals, reverse, license plate, dome, map lights, city lights, front parking lights, glove box... I'm just missing the front turn signals. Looks good

I tried the sylvania kit and my lenses are still a bit cloudy. I'll probably give the turtle wax kit a try also, thanks!

reinstalled bumper, okay. Went to install lip to bumper and fitment was worse than before it went in for paint? He said he needed to flex it and whatnot but it has about a 2" gap in between the bottom of lip and the bottom of the bumper and the sides have some gap.
