Default Anyone replaced the front bumper running lights on a 10?

So i ordered those GTO covers a while back and was supposed to get covers for the side markets, 3rd brake light, and the front "blinkers" they call them which are actually the lower bumper running lights in the front.

i ended up having to order tints because GTS isn't making those three parts after all. i can do the tints. What i can't find is how you remove the front bumper running lights to replace the entire lens. I got some blackout lenses from stangmods i plan to install today. Any of you guys know how to remove them, hopefully without removing the bumper.

Nevermind, RTFM for the win. You have to take off teh "aero cover" under teh front bumper and the side markers are right there. Took about 30 min total and looks great. Pics coming in another thread.

Those r the gts covers. I'm not happy w the fit of the headlight covers up close. I'm thinking of gettng tints for the heads from stangmods if they have them.


Edit- i do not recommend the GTS covers for headlights on the 10 at all. They don't fit well and i just noticed that it has rubbed some of the paint off the bumper after only 3 days of driving with them on.

thanks for the honest response it sounds like tint may be the way to go on the headlights then.

Hey I have also been looking into tinting my front headlights and my brake lights and i was wondering if you guys would know if that is legal in California. Also how much did it cost you guys to tint them...or are those GTO blackout covers worth it?

See the post a couple up with the edit. the gts headlight covers suck, poor fit, scuff the bumper. Stangmods has pre-cut tints, talked to the dude today and he is adding them to the site. i'm replacing the covers with the tints. the backs fit ok and the fogs do too. Headlight covers are very poorly designed. the only thing i really hate about the rear covers is that they attach with velcro. that means at night you can see four strips under the lights, that bothers me.
