1. First you must make a clear arrowhead using either plexiglass or Lexan (I used lexan due to its 250 times stronger than glass)
2. Trace out the arrowhead from the old emblem or buy one at the dealership (8 bucks i Believe.) This way if you mess up you can just re apply the new one in its place.
3. Use a dremel and carefully cut the lines u traced. (This step is better to do w/ a cut off wheel, and just sand the edges down slowly) it took me about 1.5 hrs to do it but it has to fit in perfect!
4. with your piece of lexan or plexi clamp it down to the table. use a heatgun to bend it so it matches the factory curve. or just curve it heating it up w/ lighter (at own risk)
5. once it is curved to match, attach the decal color of choice to go over the lexan (if wanted)
6. then take 4 leds wire them in series and attach the positive to terminal add switch if needed (recommended) and then take the negative to the chassis or neg of batt.
7. sand down the leds in a flat pattern to give it dispersed light.
8. then use a heatgun to take off old front emblem. (Debadge the arrowhead)
use goo gone to remove remaining adhesive, then windex to clean it off.
9. once its completely clean. then drill 4 holes as pictured into the bumper.
10. remove shroud like ur gonna take out ur headlights.
11. then using a hot glue gun squeeze hot glue through the holes then push the leds through.
11. you have to tweak ur arms to get under the front arrowhead. (big armed people seek trimpsa lol)
12. once the leds are in there then use a hotglue to hold it on there and push hard
13. then you should be done. if ive remotly done this how to correct.
oh yeah picture of what im talking about. sorry i didnt take pics through the process. lazy and was in a hurry. (daylight ran out)
