BIMSHIRE is on a distinguished road
Thumbs up

I took a stab at installing my AEs this weekend and will advise that patience is the key here. The process is easy, but requires you to be very deliberate and patient. Baking at 250 degrees for 10 mins was enough to open the headlights and remove the waffles and the ugly orange side reflectors. First I was hesitant to remove both reflectors, but I'm so glad that I pulled the trigger. The euro look looks absolutely great!!!!!!! I did not have enough time to finish the wiring because I'm having a problem feeding the pink/white wire to fuse box on the passenger side. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also I think the wire is too short. Another question: much like the brown wire fed to the driver's side footwell light, can I do the same same for the pink/white wire to passenger's footwell light, or do I need to run to the fuse box as suggested?
By the way, I used a few drops of permatex glue in three spots to secure the angel eyes. I liked it because because it's clear and any excess does not appear obvious. Do not use cement glue or crazy glue.
I will post some pics as soon as they are completed. Will also be happy to offer answers to any questions about the steps I've done so far.
