Thank you so much for all the info, its perfect!! I am going to work on this this weekend, probably saturday, once i go and get all the supplies, i may come on here and ask a few lasts questions, im going to do the headlights first, and if i have time i will then do the foglights, otherwise i will do those next weekend, that seems awesome, im just curious, about the amount of time, give or take i should be expecting for each project! Thank you again sooo much and thats a perfect place to mount the switch, i never thought of that, thank you again and i will write on saturday with a few questions probably!!!!

Yeah I thought about it but I just love the DSG and black combo. I think a DSG FX2 grill will be the next appearance mod

It took me forever on the first one, You have to be rough with it. Just concentrate on one part of the light and make sure you get up under the silicone and dig until you get beind the light and then pry it. Make sure the light is fresh out of the oven when prying and it wil slip out twice as easy Wear gloves b/c that SOB gets hot!!!!

Can you tell they are painted, I just don't want them to look blotchy? Kurt you think I can take a look at your truck sometime? I live in Waco too. You, Pat, and I should hang out.

what kind of lights do you use behind the grill. i dont remember seeing anything about that. where can you get them from also. i think that is about one of the neatest looking mods to any grill i have ever seen.

Has anybody tried this in the northern areas where there is winter?

I would be worried about condensation forming due to the moisture that is let into the light during painting. I imagine when the assembly is originally put together it is done so in a vacuum or something like that.

During cold weather wouldn't it condense on the inside of the lens when the lights are on and warm up?
