I'm still stumped. It looks like something that might belong to the bumper b/c there's a "RH" "LH" part....does anyone know what these are for?
Hey guys,
Just got my bumper in. Give a call and make sure you talk to Glenn...great guy and he will always return voicemails!
2 thinkgs: I got the bumper in MW...should I black out that chrome around the foglights? I know it stands out a lot on the other colors but it really blends in w/the white. I've already gotten a blacked out grill w/white emblem (180 custom) but my rims are black w/polished lip.
Also...all the extra parts that came w/the washer tank...do I need all that? Looks like 2 black strips and another piece. I thought it was just unscrew one tank and put the other one in. Haven't had a chance to pull the car apart yet. Just wanted a heads up before I do.
Thanks!

I know I'll need the washer tank and fog lights, where did you purchase them? Also, do I need to order anything else in additional, wiring, brackets, etc? I want to order the remaining parts and be done with this. Let me know and all your input is very much appreciated. Thanks again.

BooSa, could post a final reply on the additional parts I'll need to complete the swap and where you personally purchased them? I currently have the front bumper, IPL sides, and black replacement rings.

Np.
Do you want to also use your original fogs? 4 foglights? If not, all you need to do is cut the wires going into your headlight fogs, then connect them to the ends of the pig tails.
Here is an image of the back of the headlight. You need to cut the wires in the blue circle, connect black to black, blue to yellow (From the pigtails).

The fog lights are the same, as is the wiring.
Part #s are included.

Trunks, I bought all the parts you posted...literally. I have an 08 with no fogs. You sure this wiring harness is all ill need to connect and run the fogs?

Your 08 has fog lights. They are integrated into your headlight. They are not separate like on 2010+ coupes. The blue circle in the picture is where the headlight fog is located. All you need to do is cut the wires and connect them to the fogs on the bumper via the pigtails.

So there's the front license plate bracket, and the two plastic strips go to fill the gap that now shows between the wheel liner and the edge of the bumper because the aero bumper is wider on the bottom than the sport. There's a noticeable gap on the bottom if you don't install these. I wasn't going to install them myself as messing with the templates was a pain, but when I was done with installing the bumper and noticed the gap, my OCD just wouldn't let it go ... had to do them. It took all of 5 minutes though, and I didn't use the templates, just snugged the plastic fillers up to the bumper edge and drilled the four or five holes through the filler. Easy.
