Ok... I have a question for the DIY Peeps

Who out there endured the 17 page fog light installation like myself? Were you exhausted @ the end? How long did it take you?

That's why I paid for it to be done. Way past my 2hr limit for DIY.

BTW nice reveal of the ACE front structure, the bumper overlaps the beefed up side member which is the reason the car aces the small overlap test.

I'm impressed. I didn't think anybody would catch that from my poor quality pic!

I'm impressed with your excellent job, I would have lost three fasteners , broken a couple of tabs and scratched the paint

Good to hear, I usually find taking the steering wheel console covers off a little challenging.
BTW, it does look great installed.

The suggested ground point was IMPOSSIBLE to access. Relocate the ground to the chassis bolt just above...

Just finished the install, took me 3 hours. It's fairly easy actually, just wasn't fun for me as the sun hits our garage in the morning. I went by the instructions and put the ground as instructed. That and dressing up that cable assembly added a little time. I was a bit concerned as they weren't turning on, then discovered the high lights were on.
Did you adjust the aiming of the fog lights sbynum?

No, i didn't adjust the aim. After installing, i shot the lights against the garage door and they were even.
