I used a dremmel to get one nut off, and ended up melting the plastic on the other, pulling the bolt right through (I'm sure I can cover the hole with a large washer). All this took me over an hour. Ridiculous!
I have the factory harness/plug on my 2009. Not sure what to do with that...
Anyway, I put the old lens back in (put a long sheetroack screw in throught the bottom hole for the black metal backing plate) so it doesn't look stupid.
The tips on this thread have been very, very helpful! |
This dremel nightmare was EXACTLY the same thing that happened to me.
