00+ Center Tail light up project FINISHED! *UPDATED W/ PICS*

[harofreak00]

Never tried to remove it.

[Black Pearl]

I think it comes off if it's heated up

[SAMzGXP]

yeah but after looking at all the diagrams online and at GM i dont think that seal is sold seperately.. well not that i know of

[SAMzGXP]

part number 16520199 works... they are the right clips..
and they are not cheap...






yep.. $42.81 a piece... alot cheaper on gmpartsdirect.com.. around 14 bucks.. But they dont ship to canada... sucks...

[harofreak00]

Wow, I'm impressed. Just sucks they are so expensive.

[SAMzGXP]

tell me about it.. for a second i thinking i dont need them and leave it the way it is.. 89 bucks for 2 stupid clips is a little much..

but lucky you itl only be 14 bucks plus shipping lol

[RJolly87]

At that rate I am surprised you didn't just bounce it off somebody in the US, probably would have been cheaper too.

Got some more info on those clips today.

As we know, they are pretty expensive. Alero’s have 7 of them that hold the appliqué on the trunk lid between the tail lights (along with two nuts). Every one of them is easily accessed from inside the trunk lid so they can be released without damaging them. Anyone that has access to a self-pull yard should be able to easily get these.

These are used on:
Alero 1999-2004
Aurora 1995-1999
Bonneville 2000-2005

I haven’t been able to get to an Aurora to see how many/how easily removed they are.

These flexible led strips are pretty nice. You have to be careful because they make them that fire forward and straight up.

These clips are available on eBay for 9.00 each plus 3.00 shipping for up to 4. I received a couple today and they are just as advertised.

[harofreak00]

thats ddalder selling them, the same guy that gave me the information I posted above. He is pulling them off the Alero's and selling them to you

[mike2fix]

Darcy is great to work with and these retainers are like new with new seals and no bent tabs.

[SAMzGXP]

Ughh... That's why we need to see Darcy here again.. He could have saved me 90 dollars hahaha

Fml

[myfirstbonnie]

I just ordered some. When I saw it was Darcy, I knew I wasn't going to get screwed.

[tripscarcare95]

[MrJiggy716]
