I endorse Emery's method of using the whole unit as it will avoid rain
leaks and brighter reflections.
I believe we have an instruction on installation on our web site under
instructions.
For those that do not want to look for several parts needed and a New
assembly with light sockets and SS long screws and installation instruction.

I seem to recall someone posting (maybe Bdub’s site?), about using the Cadillac Escalade front headlights and rear lights, which updated the look of the Tranzmode? Although, I think there might’ve been some extra work involved? Anyone recollect this mod?
