OK, lights and the trim arrived. I also got the glossy trim piece to go with it.

I think I quite like it. It really does change the look of the back, though. Gives the rear a more aggressive look.

Only took me 20 min. The trim is held onto the bottom of the lights by 3m tape.

The lights were scratched up, but I used 3000 grit sand paper to sand them out and then polished them. Scratches are gone.

Was your bumper already painted? Unfortunately no Kona Blue in 2013.

Mine was Grabber Blue. So I got it painted together with the side skirts... No Candy Red (U6) bumper in 2013

That is not bad. It blends better than I thought. I don't mind leaving it in gloss black either, though.

Lots of lights on ebay right now for good prices, by the way.

Been watching eBay. Ads all say nicks and cracks and scratches. But not good pics.

Scratches are fixable, but I don't know about the cracks. I lucked out that mine were only scratched up.

Jim's were badly scratched. I would like to see close up pics of them now, to see how Jim managed to get rid of them.

I'm in the mountains right now with the family using her SUV. When I get back on monday, I'll snap close ups for you. They look SOOO much better after sanding and polishing.

Mind you, on a black car, the trim would blend quite well.
