Polished up the headlights since it's darker in the morning heading to work and I'm tired of looking at them all sun burnt. I used leftovers from Meguires headlight polishing kits and their spray coating. Turned out pretty good.

And since I'm playing with lights, decided I would finally add the fog lights I've been holding on to since I scrapped my 02 TB.

First cut out the "I'm too cheap to buy an LT" hole fillers.

Then took the cut out from the old bumper with the fog light pocket and trimmed it to the edge.

Test fitted from behind. Because of the bumper frame, I had to pull on the bumper cover for room and I broke that plastic thing that holds the cover to the frame on the right side. The left side I was able to disconnect it without breaking it but there was an unused bracket in the way that a little bending took care of (just thinking about it, could have been the siren bracket from its previous career).

Used some contact cement to glue the pockets onto the bumper from behind.

After a little drying time, the fog lights went in.

Unless you look really closely, you can't tell it's not stock. Just looks like it's supposed to be a black pocket. Just have the wiring to work on. It's possible the plugs are there, just have to look. If not, I'll figure something out later.

So today's work:
