do you need running lights? the front turn signals are dual filament so they work as running lights/turn signals...

do you have pics of what you've done? I"m just curious how it looks :shock:

If you're set on having the running lights, just put two of the smaller bulbs in the headlight. Problem solved.

Very nicely done!
Do you have a pic of the backside where you made the hole?
Also, what do you plan to do about the holes where your signals used to sit?
Are you planning to get rid of the sid markers as well?
Personally, I'm going to go for a super clean look.(get rid of them all)
Seeing as you're probably going to fill the old spot, are you going to take out the screw that hold the bumper cover to the core bumper, leave it in, or fashion up a new mounting bracket so the bumper doesn't droop down, then fill it?

Sorry for all the questions, but I'd prefer to not mess up in any way. :D
Cheers!

Ha, sweet man. I've been thinking about that for a long time. Just never got around to buying a front bumper that'd necessitate it.
