Oh they look powder coated. Well I'll just cut the old out and paint the new boxes. I also bought JCR nuts tips. The factor nuts tip welds are a joke.

No need to take a picture I'm cutting them tomorrow. You think I'll get it done in 4 hours? Paint and install?

Change it anyway. My power mirrors weren't working and they link to the same fuse as the locks and windows but they were still working

I know it sounds weird but that's what happened to me. The fuse for my windows locks and mirrors was blown but my locks and windows still worked. Just try it and see what happens. Anything is possible
