21376, Finished My 97-99 Conversion Today!!!!!
Posted by jdpilot, May-02-02 10:00 AM
Thats right, Its finally over! Man, It was SO worth it! I went with Matrix black housing Blue Ion projectors, THEY ARE SWEET!!! Thanks for the advice on these guys!!! For Foggers I used Pilot OEM style. They spliced right up to my existing factory fog wiring. When I finished I took great pleasure in slapping on the chrome 02' badge. Its amazing what a difference it all makes, and its a nice suttle "could've been stock" look that will keep people guessing at the year! Not too hard of a job but definately a project where a couple extra hands will help, especially getting the lower headlight bolt off the first time. Anyone trying this on theirs, don't get frustrated over 10mm bolts, you WILL break the heads off a couple. Hey 2 outta like 20 or so ain't bad! Now comes the test, how well those headlights work at night, we will soon see.....

Hey good job man :thumbsup I got a question for ya though. How did those Pilot OEM fog lights look? They bolt up nice? I can get those through my shop, and i've been wondering how they fit and look, and how much rigging it takes to mount them.

The Pilot foggers mount up to the 3 holes predrilled in the front frame where the stock mount plate bolts up. They fit perfect and do require "slight" shaving/trimming of the lip on the inside of each bezel. I give them props though since the instructions were straight forward about the trimming. Atleast they didn't slip me the rodney! I like honest companies! They look stock and have a beam adjustment screw. I also love the fact they are one piece units, mount/light in one pre assembled piece! If you can get em, DO IT!!
