But the SS models already have it in the doors, correct?

Thanks...

This thread and information is at least as good as the L99/fuses thread. Way to go guys, and thanks very much. I think this will make MANY people happy

Its the top plastic trim piece that will allow the light to pass through. You can see it in the picture where i show the tabs.

someone should order the 100 pack from digi key (@ $9.23 bulk price), and 200 GM light connectors (@ $9.77 x 2... bulk discount?).

take some good pictures and print some quick DIY instructions.

charge $50 for the kit and you would make a killing.

by the time I order these from 2 different companies and pay 2 shipping costs, I will likely be spending over $50 anyways.

I guess for the 1SS or 1LT guys could either tap into the accessory wires I believe it is the brown wires. Or if they want they can splice into the dimmer switch.
