AE upgrade complete!!

think I'm getting more and more confidence on my mechanic skills, I might try some more daring projects.

Nonetheless the install would have taken my about an hour but I ran into a small problem.

We had a wet snow all day yesterday and into the night so don't come at me at how dirty my car is. Tomorrow when it goes to the dealer for oil change and headlight alignment I'll get my courtesy wash. So at lest you will all see my car in it's "winter mode".

Ahh yes, the joys of winter....


First one done, the easiest one in about 20 minutes. Not bad for someone of my skills.


All done. Isn't it beautiful...


I ran into a fitting problem on the passenger side one. It gave me a hard time getting in there and into the bracket sleeves.

Now alls you have to do is replace your amber colored turn-signal bulbs with some Platinum Silvervision bulbs. The Rears as well.

The new bulbs will truly make your AE corner look like CLEAR lenses ... its a silver bulb that when you turn it on ... It burns amber in color. It's perfect. OR ... You could try painting your exsisting turn signal bulbs with a very light coat of HEAT RESISTANT Silver spray paint ... and see if they will burn amber.
There is no reason they shouldn't if you spray very lightly.
