How to remove rear vent cap appliques?

[05Single]

Mine are the non LED style, they're the regular bulb type. I like them tho. Much better then the stockers imo.

Yea that's what I want. And then led pnp bulbs. Clean and simple.

I'm using these in there tho. Makes them flash fast.

Yea I would add resistors to stop the fast flashing.
Or I guess there's a led flasher relay that plugs right into our fuse box. I'll check for that too.

 

[Tonyrodz]

If you find anything please let me know. Drives my gf crazy! Lol

 

[05Single]

These are what I'm using now. One for each side. I gotta search and find the relay.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Damn! Electrical is beyond me! What exactly am I looking at?

So smooth man with the appliques and rack. Makes that gold look really nice. What's happening with that dent in the lower rear quarter panel?

I've been seriously thinking about taking off the roof rack. I think it'll look so much cleaner also. Has anyone done this? Would I need to use plugs for the bolt holes? Do the holes go all the way through into the interior? Any water leakage issues once removed?

which taillights are those @Tony? non-LEDs? where did you get them and how much etc?

 

[Tonyrodz]

Not really sure of the make, I bought them used off Craigslist. Paid $50 and they're in excellent condition. Yes, they're non led, reg bulb style.

I believe these are those tail lights. eBay - $58

Most guys just put the same screws back in place, maybe with a bit of silicone won't hurt. Or use the set/grub screws. That thread has the exact size from a post I put up.

The holes and threaded inserts go all the way thru the roof. You would have to remove the headliner to access them and get the long nut off of them to completely remove the insert. Unless you are completely shaving it clean, leave them on and just put the screws back in place. I know that is a repeat answer, but it is high enough and low profile enough, again that the average person will never notice nor will they care. Only the TYF will notice.

Take it off, rock it and see what you think. Take you 1/2 hour to change the look for free. Good luck.

Thx! Hopefully I'll have some time this weekend and give it a shot. I've always liked the looks of the ppv vehicles.

Damn I might buy those tonight.

50w resistor. Don't need to know anything about electrical since it's only 2 steps and pretty fool proof.
Just wire one side to the ground wire and the other side to the power. Don't matter which end of the resistor goes where. So just hook up 1 negative and one positive.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Where can I get them?

Oh my,god that red Denali is gorgeous! That's the color I wanted! Haha. Wanna swap,trucks with me? Lol. My truck looks just like that but in silver. Esky roof racks and end vents on my truck as well haha.

Just mounted up my esky d-pillar vent covers today. I'm super happy with them but torn on weather to leave the plasti-dipped or paint them body color!?!?

 

[treehan77]

Body color no doubt

 

[Fosscore]

Body color. Even with the smoked tails, the body color appliques will pick up the A and B pillars and color matched handles, giving it a longer look being all the same color.
