I don't think there's an issue with spraying a little lube before you insert |

Here's a comparison of the two sanding methods, this should convince everyone to take their time

I figured out where I'll put some extra footage of wire to compensate... GLOVE BOX. It needs a light... maybe I'll run a few inches of it back to the arm rest storage area also.

Oh and why can't we just use a paint remover or oven cleaner to remove that bead of paint instead of all the tedious sanding? I haven't looked or tried yet but isn't the plastic smooth/glossy under the paint?

The plastic is smooth under the paint, but as your sanding, that smooth/glossiness disapears..... I actually sprayed a clear coat on the trim after I sanded to see what it would look like, and it looked absolutely amazing with the EL light off..... I then put the EL light on, and it didn't look too nice. The sanded part of the trim NEEDS to have a "MAT" finish for the light to diffuse properly . |

I'm looking for who sells the touch up paint now. It's called graphite silver according to my GM guy. My plan is to re-tape the backside on the edge (opposite where the tape actually was when I started to sand), and repaint. That way, I'll get that perfect line. I really can't believe I screwed it up....It was late. I was tired. I figured I could just take shortcuts. Not smart to do on this mod. Just follow the directions and do it RIGHT! |

Hopefully the touch up should work fine....btw your light looks bright as hell and a really thick strip. Looks great, just got to fix it up a bit |

I started to sand on mine (IOM) It was very noticeable, I'm not sure I want to see that line during the day.Is the silver very noticeable when sanded ?

That's what happens when you try to take shortcuts and use a dremmel tool. Won't happen again! Yeah...the light is bright. And, I'm thinking of widening the door lights as well. THINKING.... BTW, I completely fixed the driver side insert today. It looks GREAT. NOTHING like the passenger side. |

Good question. Item #2 on the photo in the original post is a little vague. What plug and where can we get one?
