I did my install today with the help of my friend's dad. Thanks to Eugene for coming up with this mod. I took some pics during my install. Im having some issues with my Angel eyes, they having been working for months and when i took them out they work but they wont light up the rings. i been having having a parking lamp error and though it was the angel eyes being blown and its not not, so i guess i will see my dealership this week.

To be honest my friend dad did most of the dirty work. i did the soldering part. he enjoyed doing it. the hardest part is definitely taking the silicone out of it. i started and got cut so he did that.
