Arnell did a hell of a job writing up this guide. If it wasn't for him UtahS2k and I would probably still be trying to get the bumper off It looks great though (especially on Silverstone) and suprisingly enough is not that hard of a mod. Just very labor intensive and time consuming. Like Utah said, this took us a good 7 hours so plan on a whole day affair for this. I will promise you this though that if you do it right you won't regret it one bit. The car looks absolutely amazing with it done. I think I'm next

[B]I started today and so far so good. I haven't completed the project because I got caught up on the game (NBA). I will finish up tommorow if I can find those light bulbs. I'm thinking all clear bulbs. Well I took some digital photos. They are not perfect so excuse my skills on this one.

Thanks for all the comments. Schatten and Utah both asked if they could use the post to make an FAQ. I told them they could use it in any way that will help. I'm glad I could contribute to the board.

I agree it could use some fine-tuning with some of the suggestions from others. Once that is done it should be 100%! (Utah and Schatten, I'll update it if you'd like - let me know.)

By the way, did anybody catch my Monty Python reference (Holy Hand Grenade)? I don't know why it came to me when I wrote the post.

[B]Arnell can't thank you enough for this thread.......FAQ material Schatten....do your job bro!!!! Matt 25 and I started at 12:15 PM today.....Ira came a few minute later for moral suport... and finished at 7:00 PM. If I were to do it again I'd go with 15 minutes in the oven preheated to 225. Did that with the second light and the sucker peeled right back. First was at 225 for 10 minutes and it was a MF'er.....put back in oven. Only other comment would be to bake it at 100 degrees for a few minutes (10)

ok this is great. but i still have a question.......

I know that in the headlights the 2 bulbs to replace are the turn signal (7440) and running light (168)

my question is.... what is the number for the high beams and the side markers?

I want to replaces all these bulbs in blue, and dont know which to order for them.
thanks

A very well-written post, I look forward to seeing the final version in the new FAQ.
