I just finished adding the factory fog lights and the nav system to my 07 LE. The foglight install, including replacing the turn signal stalk, took about an hour and a half. The nav system took about four hours. The posts through the last few months from everybody about the "ins and outs" of the two installs took a lot of the geusswork out of the jobs.

Thanks, all!

Nice, did you happen to take any pics of the fog light install?

Factory Nav? Did you have the JBL system to start with?

Tangerine, I didn't, sorry to say. I used the repair manual to tell me how to remove the steering wheel. All the wiring, mounting tabs, and screw-holes were already in the car, so it was a bolt-in.

y were having a sale ($300 less,

Oops! Sorry about the last partial post. Slick07LE, I had the JBL system and bought the nav system from OEMValue when they were having a sale. That saved $300 and no shipping cost. The worst part was finding the speed and reverse wires, which was more my being brain-dead than lack of information.

any pics?

No, it was cold yesterday and I was trying to get the car back together. It's actually an easy set of upgrades and went better than I expected. The foglight install took about an hour or so and the nav system took me about three hours, mostly spent looking for one wire. I tested everything last night and everything worked very well.

they should make rules about starting a thread about mods without pics

Engineer2048 · 04-08-2007, 10:41 AM

You're right, and I should have taken some. Between it being cold (working in the driveway), and using stock parts, I didn't think of it.

Yes it was cold yesterday, and you did all that work in your drive way. WOW

Camread, I knew you were, and believe me, I got a good chuckle from your post. Pictures are one of the first things I look for when someone mods their car, and here I go and didn'y take any...
