Mounting the DRL's on the chassis



Step 3: Mounting the DRL's on the chassis.

-Now that the bumper is cut, and the holes are large enough to fit the DRL's, we can mount them on the chassis.
Luckily the height of the cutouts is fully corresponding whith the height of the chassis.
To reach this place you will have to remove your headlamp units.

First of all, you have to posission the DRL's in the right place, so the will be beaming forward, it is all a matter of holding the bumper and see how things fit and if they are beaming the right way.

when you made sure this is all right, you can proceed drilling two holes in the chassis, which will hold the backet in which the DRL's will be fitted.
(note: on the right side of the chassis there is a little bump, make sure to put enough rings between the backet and the chassis.)

Always use sufficient vaseline on the drilled holes to avoid corrosion!

Make sure to Seal the DRL´s with glue. This avoids that your DRL becomes an aquarium, even if they are sealed, i suggest to do this again, just in case.

once done the lamps can be fitted in place.
(to fit the lamps right in this particular case, I had to cut away a litte bit of the aluminum housing. this was necessary to fit above the screws)

if everything has been done correctly, the bumper should fit over them, right in place!
