What a beautiful car. I should have stuck around to meet you. I'm strongly considering purchasing a V8V in the near future and would have loved to talk shop about how you like yours. Perhaps the next SCS will have a little better weather and we can connect then!

Thanks! And absolutely. I'll PM you some of my contact info.

Are those aftermarket LED markers you have? if so where'd you get them? easy swap?
#848
They're on eBay. Test before you install, I got a bad one. They're a pain to install.

The installation isn't too hard but could be if you try to shortcut it. I removed the front wheels and fender liners, and used a flex-head 10mm wrench to remove and install the nuts that hold the lights in place. With the fender liners removed I could see the nuts that had to be removed from the lights, and pull the bumper cover forward slightly, which made it a lot easier than trying to do it by feel with one of my giant hands wedged into the tiny space between the liner and bumper. Since telum01 got a bad light, I tested mine prior to installation by plugging them into one of the footwell light sockets to make sure they worked. Also, since the LED units have polarized connectors, and can be connected with reverse polarity which makes them not work, I checked the car's light socket with an ohm meter to find out which side was ground so I could get the polarity correct the first try.
