    only thing left to do and im going to do myself. is wiring those aux lights in the bumper. not sure how i want to wire them yet. i may splice into the reverse light or run it all the way to battery and use the switch. it came with all the wires to do it.

    If your aux lights are led and dont draw no more than 5 amps straight to reverse lights but still fuse them by the spec. Anything over 5 amps use a relay and fuse it to spec. The lights.

    Looking good. I am about to have the same work done to mine but on drivers side. Insurance waived deductible as it was in a parking lot when hit. Bumper should be here in a week. Body shop another week.

    now this happened.
    IMG_0508.jpg IMG_0509.jpg

    apparently the tire picked up a bolt from the shop. and some how the lower bolt on the caliper has come off. causing to rub against rim shake and go crazy when coming to a stop.

    yea. im just worried about damage to rim, rotor, caliper....and of course what could have caused that to happen is there some kind of suspension issue or lower control arm or idk.

    No damage I bet. Put in the bolt tight to spec and see what happens. Go for a test drive.

    Can you take it back there? If not, run it to a tire shop and just pay what is needed for the small amount of labor...or DIY if you can.

    so we got it fixed up. rim wasnt damaged too bad. it was scratch all the way around but nothing too deep. the bolt looked monstrous from outside but in actuality wasnt that long and didnt puncture the tire. but we went ahead and patched just in case. the lower bolt from the caliper was completely gone. the top bolt was loose. and it was jammed against the wall of the rim. but it was super easy and everyhting fixed in 20 min becase we had the use of the shop lift and all air tools and nice stuff that made it super easy. crisis averted.

    i ended up taking it to get wired at a place. dude charged me $100. i wasnt happy about that. especially after they turned them on and they were no brighter than my reverse lights. so then i ordered an hid kit for them. wired those myself and only one light would work. i took it back to the shop they said the gauge of wire wasnt enough for it. so they re ran it for anothr $30. so i said go ahead and now they are working. i also went ahead and changed my reverse lights to an led to match those lights. looks good now and puts off a really good amount of light. ill post some pictures when i remember to take some night shots.
