I took the option of installing them from underneath the car. I have to say, it was a pain in the a$$ to install the resistors. If you have big hands, find a friend with small hand to help you. I love the end result. While I was in there, I changed the side lights to LED also.

Next project is LED tail lights. Even though I would have loved to have the halo mod, I just couldn't justify the cost. I know the halo mod led looks great. I bought the trailer led. I can't believe that they fit perfectly. The stock screws are not long enough, if you have the blackout cover. So off to ACE hardware on Monday.

Totally agree with halo pricing being too expensive. It definitely seems like a 'corvette tax'.

Very nice mods you’ve done and you’ll love the LED taillights.
