you mind posting a link for those. I am always afraid I'm going to get the wrong ones and be too lazy to send them back.

Default aurora back up lights mod!

did the aurora back up lights mod!
found it at the junk yard for 15 bucks





the only problem i had was that i have power locks and the actuater was in the way. you can see the bell housing in this pic


so it doent sit perfectly flat. i just sealed it real good with silicone sealant

because of the power locks, if I were to do it again i would just put in smaller lights
but im happy with the way it turned out

Bought the Soft 8's. Tires should be here tomorrow and hopefully the wheels shortly after. Shocks go on tomorrow
