I got the ones off of ebay, they went in nice and easy, the main problem with them is the bright yellow loom they put on the wires. Other then that they went in nice and easy.

I obviously got the same lights off eBay that eat_world did...they went on without too much hassle, fit like the OEM lights, and look pretty good. I went to AutoZone and bought some black wire loom to cover the audacious yellow wire insulation that was on the loom. Easy job! I had to go out of town for a few weeks so I haven't had the chance to wire them in yet, just wanted them installed first ....here's the link.

A couple of other things not mentioned in the link above. The dummy plates mounting surface are not level. The lights I used have covers with a grille and manufacturers name, which are not adjustable. I had to make a bracket to straighten them. I also wanted to use the factory switch but with aftermarket wiring. Problem is it only works with the factory computer. I ended up gutting the circuit board out of the switch and fitting a Radio Shack switch inside of it. The dash looks factory.

The Hole Plugs (Dummy Plates) are pretty level, I installed my 4" fogs on them by following the How-To. They look great, evenly spaced and the beams are perfect. They dont vibrate when you hit a bump. All in all about an hour to an hour and a half to do.
