Thanks for that !

I postponed the complete dissassebley till I get the gaskets, need to pass a provincial inspection Monday.

I was wondering how the tailight grills are held on - I can barely see a phillips head of a screw in there - my grills are loose a little and rattle a bit.

You know, I am concerned about the brightness of the rear lights and was thinking of a third option (other then Dakota's led or super brite leds') how about drilling another hole in the housing and adding another bulb and socket? My car is far from stock so what can it hurt?

What do you think (anybody)

Regards

The grill [bezel] is held on with 4 Phillips screws.
Adding a lamp may not work. Likely get to hot in the housing. A bigger problem is your electrical circuit and flasher may be a problem.

In my case heat won't be a issue, as I am already running a LED bulb and adding another still won't cause enough heat. In another thred there was a gentleman that had some of these "super high output plasma" bulbs for $90 ... those I don't know about. I cant see how the turn signal curciut would be adversely effected by adding a second bulb, but without a doubt it would be a good idea to add the socket and bulb before boring holes.

Thanks
