| ITS RAINNIN' SIDEWAYS | swapping std fit aux lamps for after market how do you go about swapping the std fit aux lamps for some decent after market ones like the cibie mini oscars? can the old lights simply be taken off & the new ones mounted in their place on the existing brackets? electrically is it as simple as unscrewing the earth wire off the old lamps & screwing into the new ones? ![]() |

If you're new lights only have a single wire then it's for power. The ground wire from the harness can be attach to the bracket to make sure you get a good ground. -- '03 S B/W |
