maybe you blew the bulb or a fuse. the one for the license plate is 194, but i think 168 is the same

When you got your sides painted, did you get the black weather stripping at the bottom of the door painted too?

Thanks, your cars looks great, almost a twin to mine but I'm not lowered. Are you getting the front and rear bumper painted? What are you dropped on?

168, 194 will work fine. You probably broke the filament when you removed it, if the other one works, then its not a fuse.

I'm lowered on Eibach Pro-kit springs, 1.1" all around. As far as my front bumper goes, I just got the Strafe Nismo replica bumper painted to match so I'll be installing that very soon. I need to figure out my options for my rear bumper, but most likely I'll be going with the Ionic Nismo rear replica.

sooo, i painted my TB side sills and rear bumper grey areas...removed the sills, primered painted, cleared with rustolium emamel i think and its held up for the past 6 months no issues. i can find the site if anyone is interested. recently i platidipped the front grill and lower grey portion of the bumper as well as the greying area by the side mirrors. car looks great. i also used the spray paint for a cheap ebay lip. ordered some 06 tb front and rear splash guards and called it good.

those sills should be black not gray. try using some mothers back to black plastic polish, or for a longer lasting shine used xtreme tire wet

^If someone intends to paint them later, it's best no to use anything on them, as it can make painting more difficult.
