I think they did that in The Fast and the Furious too.

Probably wouldn't be too hard, Autozone/PepBoys/Etc sell the kits. It'd be easy to pick up the wiring I'm sure. I'd make sure to only put them on w/ double sided tape so you can change your mind.

oooooo. low blow.

yeah just slice into the wiring on the front signal and run and straight wire to the new sig. And definately use tape. The hardest part will be getting access to the front fender on the inside to run the wire, but even that's not really hard as such.

Yeah, and I believe you will change your mind. I definitely don't think that's gonna look good. But that's just my opinion.

I'm not sure how it would look either, just thought someone must have done it if I thought of it. I like to see their experiment.

Here in the UK it is a legal requirement to have these lights & I hate them! I am going to fit them in place of the GT badges & when it passes the required test before registration I shall put it back to original!

The lights are actually called Euro-style, since they're required in Europe. Though I can see why you'd attribute the addition to superfluous lights to the ricer scene, they're actually from Europe. My wife's Volvo has them.

I completely agree with the decision though. No need on this car.
