Picks of any length...they just need to be skinny and to a point





The Grey connector needs to be separated from the end retainer in white. Utilizing the pic in the side you can gently pry up and the retainer will come out.


The female connectors need to be separated from the grey head after the white retainer comes out...THEY DO NOT just push right out from front to back. Here is why...when you look down the connector with a light there are tangs that much be pushed down with a sewing needle and you must grasp the wire and almost pinch it while applying force to the grey connector while you use the sewing needle to release the tang on the inside.





The connector will look like this when pins are in the correct slots. They slide right in and lock into place after passing the tangs in the grey connector. Then install the white retainer back into the grey connector. You are now ready to rock and roll...relax drink a beer...smoke a doobie....the lights are now ready for install. I would but it's currently -10°. It will happen tomorrow ...when it's 30°.




Video of lights will be tomorrow....then contact Ron at whoosh and order some!

What is the best way to post videos here? They are each 10-15secs a piece.

Hmmm I like those, I was looking at them on there and was wondering what it would take to swap. May still get the euro ones, but these are pretty nice as well it seems.

Got any pictures of them during the day? Not necessarily on, just how they look with the blue.

Debating on getting the smoked red or normal red. Not a fan of clear tail lights.

I think the top white triangle cutout for the blinker bulb looks out of place on the regular red. Most likely going to go with smoked red.

Yeah thats what I'm thinking. Should look a little better on a white car though.
