Default Night shades on turns and grill mod

I took some Vht nite shades to my turn signals and put some expanded metal behind my grill. The nite shades was a little dark so I got brighter bulbs so they are completely visible when they are on I took some pics of both processes I can give instructions if any one wants. So here is is what do y'all think?

I cut the rivet holding it in with bolt cutters. Then inside the fender at the top of the light there is a clip. You have to pinch it and pull the light down as you push the clip outward. You have to pull really hard
It feels like you are gonna break something but it's all fine. It take a little pulling on the inner liner to get it to squeeze out. I also put on a few extra layers I'd clear coat so I didn't scratch the newley painted ones. Then just replace the rivet with a zip tie
