I like the grill. Are those Escort GT wheels?

[gottafesty]

Thanks for the comments. The wheels came off a Tracer. I don't know if they were ever on Escorts or not.

I like the blinkers in the corner lights, were they hard to hook up? Did you just run a jumper wire to it?

[packrat427]

I swapped out the connectors from the old corner lights to the new corners. The Festiva ones were also 3 pin harness but only use two. That made the hookup for the parking lights simple. I then took a female spade wire connector and crimped it on to a 4 inch piece of wire. Then I put the female connector into the empty slot on the vehicle side of the corner light socket. the other end of the wire I spliced in to the hot wire forthe turn signal. Now that's clear as mud isn't it. :lol:

The hardest part was removing the connectors. It's supposed be easy. Just put a small pointy object or tiny tiny flat tip screwdriver in to release the clip. At least it's done

Oh, and thanks all for the comments.

Do those wheels fit the stock bolt pattern?? Or did you do the aspire swap?
Thanks.

[gottafesty]

It wasn't too bad. It got up in the 20's and there was no breeze. Clear sunny day. I even was even serenaded (If tapping can be considered music) by a wood pecker.

Now for a new hood.

I didn't think you'd notice.
