i was gonna do it for free, just to help out since I did it before. just let me know where you are.

i believe another member here is trying to black theres out too (MAg35/Meelad). he's in santa clara, and i offered to go down there when he was ready.

been a while but if we ever mess up, g35papa will probably know whats wrong.

Bacon....add some bacon to the headlights and all will turn out delicious!

You have my number Chris? Hit me up but I doubt you'll need to.

If you have a sedan, now is the perfect time to clear the turn signal lenses
