I applied too. Also Soundjunky (It's Jon right?) I'm going to pick up that clutch but I'm hopefully going to grab it from him this weekend as I'm trying to get my car ready to go to Calgary next weekend. Thanks for the offer of helping a brother out though.

absolutely no problem!

I just figured that if I'm heading your way that I could save you on either gas or shipping.

If there ever comes a time that my being in Calgary can help you out, shoot me an email... there's never harm in asking right?!?

I might be able to help you out;

I set up the wires to plug&play on CaglaryBalt's car...

@ diabetic;

why not just remove the front lower grille??

the SC's didn't come with them ~ and the cars don't look bad without them... with the electrical tape there though, I cannot say the same.

99% of the time (allowing for 1% error), people cut & splice.

I went to Pick N Pull to find bits to make a socket... iirc, I ended up taking apart, and soldering to a bulb base;
I have never heard of anyone doing this ~ rather some of the more complete kits offer a plug like the one I made (a plug which i couldn't source locally btw)
