I just installed my new turn signal bulbs today. I want to thank my friend who came over and for having small hands. I had this swap done in 2 minutes. These are orange bulbs coated in silver. Looks much nicer. Any orange reflection is due to the sunlight in the shade you see nothing.

I just got LED turn signal bulbs from eBay. Although they are no where close to as bright as filament bulbs, they are cool looking at night.
Unfortunately, the back ones, dispite being LEDs, still have a orange plastic cap on it :( But whatever. I\'m not going to fork out extra money for such a small detail. I\'ll post pics up as soon as I take them::P

It just all depends on the size of your hand, i find that taking out the plug to the low beams will provide more room.

Hey Dave I found the grill on ebay.
I was going to unplug the low beams to but my friend was there and his hands were small enough I just got lucky he was there. The only thing I removed was the triangle shape thing on the drive side it has three plastic screws and is attached to the air filter.
I\'ve got the same bulbs, they\'re sharp. I got small cuts on my hands squeezing to put the bulbs in. The funny part is I got one cut on each hand that was opposite the other. Had a good laugh when I cleaned the dirt off my hands....pffft and the manual says to take it to a dealer :p

Very easy to install helps to have a second set of hands but easy enough alone. It go`s over the stock grill. Here are some pics.
4 screws with spring loaded wing nuts. Put the screws through the holes then put the nuts on then pop it on.

LP holder needs to be cut away deeper so it is not touching the grill
