Wired LED's

What I ended up doing was wiring the depo angle eyes to the footwell lights. When you unlock the car the lights come on. I ran a wire through the firewall where the factory loom goes and I tapped into the light wire on the pass footwell next to the fuse block.

The depo lights come with a harness and it has the same pink wire at both ends. The other wires are just red and black you connect to the battery. After you have the wires attached to the battery you touch one of the pink wires to the pos battery to turn the lights on...you will hear a click from the relay, that is the one you wire "stitched" when the key is switched on. on my car #35 was a spare power fuse so I plugged that power wire into that terminal. So I had to spice a longer wire than the kit came with to run through the firewall so two wires were run.

The depo light look good and now I have day time running lights...Only downside is you have to adjust the height and the drivers side on mine would only adjust so high. I have to shim the bottom bolts.

To remove the headlights without the bumper is easy but you have to move the headlights on angles to get it out. I used a lot of painters tape on the bumpers and not to scratch them. The key is you use a pair of needle noise pliers and squeeze the left side pin of the lower headlight painted trim to access the lower two bolts that hold them on. I used a magnetic tool next to my screw driver so I would not drop the screws in the bumper well.
