    starship enterprise.. well there really isn't much to write up. you just need to dremel holes for signal lights and to route lines.

    Looking at the pics, it is pretty self-explanatory. Just post up if you have questions

    Yeah it really is easy. I made one a while ago, just drill some holes and you're in business. If you have an 06 or newer you don't need a license plate light. Your tail light will illuminate the license plate.

    i just took a hacksaw and cut the bottom part of my fender below the license plate off. it looks a lot better, its free and its easy

    Not too bad. I would maybe go for smaller led's. Would have saved me $150 .
