    Question VS Fog light installation

    I got fog light bezels yesterday and after a lot of thinking i decided to not do them myself. simply coz if i ***k it up then i need a whole new bumper and paint which wont be cheap.

    Ive called a lot of panel beaters and none of them are willing to do the job as it is a QUOTE: "modification to the vehicle".

    does anyone know a place that will fit the bezels? or is there someone on this forum that knows what they are doing and would be willing to install them for a price?

    cheers

    Take a look at the back of the bumper cover, some have a dotted line in the plastic that shows where to cut.
    Or,
    Make a stiff cardboard template as I did.
    If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

    you wouldn't happen to be able to post a pic of the template would you? or some dimensions?
    yeah i looked at the back of the bumper before, i heard that the dotted lines are there but they aren't =S

    I did this yesterday, piece of cake really, i removed the bumper and marked out were to cut then drilled heaps of 3mm holes along the lines, trimed the hole up with a stanley knife and that pretty much it. i glued mine in with sikaflex as amost of the plasic tags broke when i removed them from the racked bumper i found. come up mint!

    thats the thing. how big is the hole that you have to cut? it would take ages fitting cutting then re fitting.

    No one has a template or anything? No one willing to do it for me for a price?
