Finally installed my new-to-me lights. They look good, but it's only part of my final plan.

Before headlights.....





During.....(I also installed the studs needed for the Matrix)....



After with smoked corner lights...........................





That's it for now....

I installed my Matrix-4xGaurd w/hoop and fog lights today. Check out the pics......................

Thank you.

Here is what I did to cure the D-shackle clanking on the Matrix. Others have used felt and that works as well, but I chose to use rubber chair feet cushion thingies....



















That's it........It only cost me $2 at Home Depot and it works great!

So today I had a chance to finally install my hitch wireing harness and also the rear bumper lights...For now I wired them to light up with the tails/turn/brake lights, but later on I will swap them out to clear white lights for reverse assistance (I have not found the white ones I like, yet). You will see in the pics provided that I soldered on a "pig tail" to the hitch harness so i can just unplug it when ever I'd like. I didn't take pics of the actual install, 'cause I just followed the thread on the lights that has install pics. So, on to the pics.....

Here you can see the hitch harness with the pig tail and the light harness as well.


Here is a closer look...


Another look....


Lights.......




O.K., no night pics yet 'cause since I wired them into the hitch harness, I still have to program the computer so it knows I have a hitch. Therefor they will not light up yet.

PS: That license plate holder was a gift from my girl so, don't hate me 'cause you aint me. LOL!!!

Nice install, this is on my mod list for sure.

When I installed my hitch, I used a T-One Connector for the trailer light plug instead of using an oem wiring harness. I did not have to do any computer programming for the plug to work. I have towed a utility trailer and the plug had no problems. Is this what you are referring to ?

Neil, where did you get that?

they sell em at parts stores, I got mine from Hidden Hitch online. Its a very simple way to add the trailer plug.
