Forum Member needs mod help??

**LOCOMOTION** · 07-30-2009, 04:18 PM

I just bought a 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T in Hemi Orange Pearl color and I also joined a car club called the NJ MOPAR GROUP OWNER AND ENTHUSIAST CLUB and at a recent event one of the other members had a 2007 Charger SRT and he had rings of orange colored very small LED lights inside all of his front lights. When my wife saw those she said ' Wow , can we get them or do that to our car? " .... you need to understand, here's the problem , my wife is very hard to convince spending any money on a brand new car ......so while the iron is hot I need to strike as they say. I asked the guy with the Charger and he said check on the " LX Forums " because he said his whole front end fascia had to come off and he had to bake the light housings to get the LED light rings in .
Now I need to know if anybody has any experience with adding lights in the front of their new Challenger?
I'd like to add then to the headlight, the turnsignal , and the lower fog light and there is a place that makes and sells them .
So all I need to know is how much of the front end has to come apart and how to get the light housings apart to install these LED light rings ?
Can anybody help , PLEASE ? ...thanks for any help, suggestions or info, please post here , IM me or E-mail me at wboyd18993@aol.com

If you are in the NJ area talk to Ernie at 402 Motoring. He's a Supporting Vendor here, local to you and can do just about anything along the lines of what you are talking about.

He has a vendor forum here if you want to talk to him directly. He won't see your post buried here in the Challenger section.

You mean like these?:

I went with CCFL tubes instead of LEDs... both have pros and cons, but both are a royal pain in the rear to install in a Challenger. I did mine myself, but would gladly pay someone else to do it next time. The headlamp assemblies on the Challengers are held together by God himself. I have to admit, there is a certain thrill in prying apart a $900 HID headlamp assembly after baking it in the oven!

Here is a thread I started a while back that documents most of the work involved:
