I just used a flat head screwdriver and just pryed them offand when I got it half way off I just pulled them off with my fingers. The worst one was the rear were the exhaust is that was the hardest to get off. Takeing the grills off and putting them on only took about an hour the painting is what took the longest. And if your wondering what I used for paint, I only used a can of white primer.

How bright are those 3A lights and how much do they cost? Who makes them? They look cool.

The lights are pretty bright at night and I paid $36 for them on Ebay and the are made by OPTA. I'm going to take a couple of pics tonight of them so I'll post them either later tonight or tommorow morning.

So they actually throw out blue light, not white light? They don't look that bright. (the lights...not you). I would prefer something Damn WHITE...and DAMN BRIGHT.

Make sure to spray a laquer or something over the grill or it will start to chip and flake and you don't want to repaint it again I'm sure. And if you already put a clear protective coat over it, It looks damn good, nice job
