I've decided I am going to be removing my lower turning light units (which are not functional anyway) & then cut the plastic pieces (with the hole in either one) for where the nuts hold the units in place. Though, there will still be the screw hole from the top of the unit if I changed my mind. So then I am left with 2 ducts on either side of my bumper. Most likely more of an cosmetic mod once I have cleaned up & smoothed where I have cut the plastic. A little more air-flow can't hurt though.

I will also be purchasing some new after-market headlights / high beams, so the turning lights will not match up anyway. I am also anal about the flow of things & miss-matched parts.

Has anyone else tastefully removed these permanently ? Aside from the people who have changed over to an after-market front bar where there is no longer provision for the turning units / fog lights, anyway.

Cheers,
Mike
