Planned DIY *All Done* 1998.5 to 2k conversion(kinda) - 56k go wash my wheels
Well I got my new tail lights in the mail last night and I'm picking my new headlights (both are stock off a 2k), for some reason one needed a signature and one didn't. I will also get my HID kit in the mail on Thursday. Tonight I'm going to install the new tails so here is the plan:
#1 Do this DIY to convert to post-face lift tails http://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext38.shtml
#2 Do this DIY to get some use out of the rear fogs https://www.audiforums.com/m_352232/tm.htm
I think that instead of soldering a wire between the two area's on the bulb holder I will just splice in a wire on the harness itself, I'm sure it would be even easier than soldering.
That should conclude my DIY's for this evening.
Planned DIY's for the immediate future:
#3 Since I just got a set of one-pc lights, off a 2k, I'm going to do clear corners first https://www.audiforums.com/m_232432/tm.htm
#4 &#5 After I find time I will have to complete the dreaded(by all pre-face lift owners) mod and install the lights https://www.audiforums.com/m_149303/tm.htm and while I'm at it I will also install a VVME H7 HID kit (purchased from Less_of_me) http://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext52.shtml
Maybe do stage II in a month or so after I get back from my vacation.

RE: Planned DIY mods over the next few weeks
my D2S kit should be here friday....my ecodes have been in my room for 3 weeks now, and I am tired of stepping over them. Thanks for taking that H7 kit off my hands.
Have you trimmed your fenders yet?

RE: Planned DIY mods over the next few weeks
no, waiting to do that until the wife and I go visit my parents again - I hate living in an apartment[:@]. They frown upon doing any auto work in our underground garage(also no plug-ins down there). I'll just get everything ready to go - HID's installed and all siliconed up, clear corners done and do it all in a couple hours one weekend.

just got everything unpacked here are the tails and the headlights - everything is in mint and very happy - now I'm going to go and install the new lights
Hey if anyone wants the lower part of the tail light PM me and I'll send'em to ya. Previous owner didn't take them off - color is a metalic black
