I hope mine only takes two hours. Tomorrow I'm going to my buddies garage to install the grill and hopefully finish the HID system I'm installing. I guess while the bumber is off I can install the new xenon bulbs in my fogs.

Ok, who in Ohio is gonna help me out with this one when the weather gets better? Free beer... after of course! Think I'll do the grill, side turn signals and fog bulbs all in one shot.

Absolutely splendid tutorial Y2K5SRT. I have copied and put in my file for use when I get my grill and clear sides (hopefully soon).

Some folks asked where I got these replacement rivets:



They are plentiful at your local AutoZone. They screw right in (and out) so you won't need to buy another set again. Very handy for replacing foglight bulbs or taking the fascia off!

Excellent tutorial Y2K5SRT !! Just as good if not better than your Ultimate Light bulb comparison thread. Perhaps the powers that be will make it a sticky. If not I’ve got it in my treasure trove to hand out to new/old members who ask questions about their grilles. Thanks for taking your time to do this for us all!

For those that missed it here is another fantastic tutorial on lighting!
