It worked on mine! I did it to my grill, then the winter bullitts for my Mustang and even my sister's Lancer winter wheels. Made them look great. It has definitely held up and I do alot of highway driving. I put about 4 coats of clear (step 2) over it.

Email replied to. Let me know what you want to do to resolve this. This is the first time I have had lights delivered with physical damage to them.

Sorry Lord....not meaning to hijack this thread, but Edge can I ask what brand of paint did you use and do you have any pics of the grill? Thanks!

Its easy.

Pop hood
On the top of the light you will see one bolt. I believe its 8mm but could be a 10mm.

On the inside edge close to the radiator is a rubber strip held on by plastic philips screws. Remove the strip and you will see the last 2 bolts to remove the light.

Pull the light straight out. There are snap clips holding it in.

Three bolts, on in the top on the fender.
two on the inside of the light, have to remove the rubber flap with a four way screw driver.

its easy.

If they have it wasn't done by me. I haven't worked on any yet. They are a 2 piece design right?

Yes, unless you replace them with the one piece.
