5708 viewsUse a sharp blade to score the plastic. This will allow the plastic to break away easily.Dec 04, 2010

34776 viewsThe left cover has been modified; the right has not. The covers are not "sided", they are the same so you don't have to worry about mixing them up. Modify them both the exact same way.Dec 04, 2010

4710 viewsCut out the plastic lip from the covers. This allows the cover to be placed back on and turned, helping to keep water and dust out of the light housing.Dec 04, 2010

14866 viewsThe far left box shows plastic removed for the HID wires and the 3-prong plug that normally goes on the halogen bulb. Make the left [driver] side slightly bigger to accommodate all wires. Should be snug! Center box shows how bulb retaining hook is moved to under the frame and the far right box shows how the retaining wire is positioned to hold the HID bulb in. It will require a slight bending of the wire but not too much because you don't want to break the spring steel!! Dec 04, 2010

24814 viewsHere's the wiring pushed down in the slot and ready for the cover to be placed on. Note that on the right [passenger] side there was no need for the bulb plug so I left it inside the light housing and made the wire pass-through notch big enough for just the HID wiring.Dec 04, 2010

347 viewsOnly 6" of leg room in the rear seat. I fit but I'm skinny. No problem for children, however, to fit in the back as the rear bench seat/bed is rather deep.Feb 06, 2010
