Default Day 7: continued

Front Lights with Chrome Bulbs that glow amber. My husband said the IS has two turn signal bulbs per side, the Passenger side took 15 minutes, but the driver side took 45 min.

Wow. I can't wait to see what Day 365 looks like. Hell, I wonder what day 100 will look like.

1154 slightly modded.

Rominl, my husband spoke with you about the modding required to fit the rear bulbs. I think he will post the mod on the lighting forum. He also took off the front tire, plus a lot of screws in order to change the lower left front bulb. Yes Goldark, small fingers would help.

Neo / Rominl,
you know I'm not like you guys. I just want it all done and then just enjoy the car. I hope most of the mods will be done in a few more weeks.

There won't be any day 100 !

Well, unless of course the PLP supercharger gets smog certfied !

Default Day 8 - Clearing all lights now completed

The amber side marker lights were replaced with cleared lenses. We couldn't find chrome bulbs, so the amber bulbs were lightly spray painted with high temp silver enamel. The amber still glows through well at night though.
