Project: 2012 DGM WRX

[FlaakCM]

I am taking today and tomorrow off due to the 27 hour shift i pulled this past weekend. I figured I might as well install the new JDM Taillight since it was nicer out today than it has been.

Here is goes...



Remove the bumper. It is pretty simple. Just have to remove 8 clips and then tug.


With the bumper off, remove the plastic piece at the bottom (in this photo, I have already done that)



Here is that plastic piece removed:


Once removed, you need to cut out the middle section:


After this is done, you can reattach the outside pieces back to the bumper:


Next you want to install the clips provided in the kit


After that, you simply slide the housing into this spot on the back side of the bumper:



Screw it in:


Looks like this:


Now the fun part, reinstall:


Attach the wiring harness and go though the rubber stopper. (the kit provides its own stopped to replace the stock one)



Connect the wires to the rear taillight harness and you are all set:


I wired it to be on whenever my taillights are on.

PS: Dan, dont give me shit about how dirty the car looks! :oops:
