Re: Grille Light Modification.
I never minded the Lancer's but they are in an entirely different class than the SVX. The SVX stands out more than a Lancer by far because of the unique styling. I'd drive a Lancer if someone gave me one and I'd probably love it... Just not more than my SVX..
Now a 3000GT... That'd be fun.

Re: Grille Light Modification.
IIRC, there are 4 clips on the back of the grille that you have to loosen. You push in the tabs on the clips, and the grille will slowly come out. I don't believe the DIY included how to remove the grille.

Re: Grille Light Modification.
.
There are TWO clips (one on each side) Just keep a little outward pressure on the grille, while sticking a small screwdriver down into the top clasps. once the two top clasps are loose, tilt the top out while pulling up (as the bottoms just slide down into a grommet) and it should pop right out. Installation is just the reverse. Done this many times. .

Re: Grille Light Modification.
I had both grilles, never did care for the 97 grille. I believe I still have the modified waterfall from the first post in my garage somewhere. I should really put it in my room.

Re: Grille Light Modification.
Any "How To's" on opening a waterfall grille? Haven't decided on a light, or as someone mentioned in another thread, putting an external EZ-Pass transponder inside one. Got it out of the car, but curious if there's an easy way to open it up without damaging it

Re: Grille Light Modification.
Instructions are pretty damn vague where to put the screwdriver. Looked to me like they're pinch clips.(?) squeeze them and pull the grill forward. I literally blew a bulb and need to remove the headlamp to get the glass out.
There are TWO clips (one on each side) Just keep a little outward pressure on the grille, while sticking a small screwdriver down into the top clasps. once the two top clasps are loose, tilt the top out while pulling up (as the bottoms just slide down into a grommet) and it should pop right out.
