Got around to installing some stuff that's been sitting around for nearly half a year, a light up bowtie I found on eBay and the towhook. Towhook was pretty straightforward I did mess up because I wanted to keep the mount as far back as possible so I didn't have to cut the bumper plastic thing over the bar, but when I did that piece was angled slightly down and hook would not fit in between the grill lines, so had to drill a second set of holes, thankfully it's not visible, lightweight one with tow hook from bald eagle would've probably been a better option but my splitter rods are mounted to the bar and it kinda sucks re routing them.
Next was the light up emblem and on Friday I thought I would take it apart and add some extra coating to whatever PCB they used, but turns out it's just one giant bowtie shaped singular LED, never seen anything like this it's pretty neat.
Removing the old emblem was a total pain in the nuts, the tabs were on there too tight and I didn't want to cut them, when it finally let go I slipped and scraped a substantial amount of skin from my thumb, put me out for rest of the day, came back next day by covering the area up with some bandaids and wearing gloves, still hurt like hell. The wire it came with a had a small connector, length of wire was too short but after splicing some more wire in, I placed the connecter right next to the one for the daylight running lights on bumper, so it's easy to remove in future, then used existing wire covers and tons of electrical tape to keep it neat. I tapped it into the halo wires on the headlights, not big fan of the spade connection splices I used but bowtie light wires were too thin gauge to use any other splicing thing I had, I coated everything in liquid electrical tape just to be sure
At the end of the day it looks great, color temp on the bowtie LEDs is slightly different to halo ones but you can't tell on pictures anyways.
