Matt's '07 Retrofit Build Thread

Sun's gotta go down first.

Oh yeah

Well I got it out and only had to move 1 screw. The passenger side appeared to angle slightly up and to the right, but I remember it's parallel to the ground when I'm on a flat surface. About 85% sure that's due to the parking lot I'm in.

Either way, the driver's side is now parallel to the passenger side, so it looks great. Light is sealed up again and I have it clamped and drying.


God I hate RTV sealant.

So pretty easy fix it sounds like? Just sounds time consuming

Yeah pretty easy....it didn't take near as long as I thought it would.

Put it in this morning and it matches the passenger side perfectly. Turns out the driver's side step is aimed towards the passenger side, so during normal driving (level road) the two steps (driver/passenger) converge into one.

Wasn't intentional but looks awesome. Looks cleaner on the road with just a flat line.

Will try to get pics on my way to work tomorrow.

Sweet!!! I still really need to get a couple of good shots of mine at night. It's really amazing what these things can do.

This is about the best I could find, and it's with only 1 headlight working (bad relay on the passenger side).

Sorry that was me, it wouldn't load for some reason.

THAT'S RIGHT!

For some reason that pic instantly reminded me of...

oh...

Matt you've gone and disappointed him

Nice! What's the deal with the relay? Is that recent or is it already replaced?

I know, right? Poor Jeff.

So how about fog lamps? I don't recall you doing anything with the fog lamps as of yet?
