2005 Strobes Install
Any ideals on where and how to drill the new headlight housings for strobe tubes, the jeweled housing is seperate from the black housing and I don't want to screw anything up. I want to install two tubes in each front housing and one in each rear turn (no problem for the rear) many thanks.

i put them in mine a month ago, in the front lights i put them in the lower part next to the parking light, use a 1in bit (paddle or round hole saw) these ARE 1pc lights what happens is once u carefully drill thru some of the crap will fall in to sealed part so dont alarmed and dont filp the around to much either.( the top and bottom are not spreate) the trick to get the crap out is to us a shop vac .y do u want two in each housing??
