I thought the exact same thing when I put it all back together but have been using these same lines since 2011 with no issue. I checked full lock when I mounted the wheels. There was was no concern that I could see. Now that we are seeing the same thing, I'm thinking I likely swapped sides on the reassembly. I suck at 50/50s. Casinos love me. I will keep an eye on them for abnormal wear.

Thanks man. AM radio deal is very cool. As I continue with this car, I find I like the stock looking parts a bit more than I used to. If I could hide those lights behind one of the fraudulent A/C vents, it would be even better. I just gotta make a mount for them.
