    Wink random questions...

    So was just curious on a few things. I want to do a few lighting tricks to the car? any idea how to change the fog lights to yellow and I want to make the marauder in the rear bumper light up. I know that means drilling and cutting, but has anyone done it? just need some insight. and has anybody ever wrapped their car? debating it as a protection for the silver and possibly changing the color but don't know what color to do, never really seen them in anything but the factory colors. thanks for the help and advice.

    I think that changing the fogs is just a matter of new bulbs but will defer that to those who are more knowledgeable.

    Try some Bob White reflective inserts before cutting the bumper

    Don't ruin the bumper.
    Use the reflective inserts.

    Just change the foglight bulbs.

    I believe Gatorglass (http://www.gatorcustoms.net/) can do the rear bumper.... how much $$$ are you willing to spend?

    Wrapping is a good idea.

    There have been white Marauders, Candy green Marauders, other candy colored ones, light blue Marauders, Bright Red Marauders, Satin black/Gray Marauders, Metallic Gray Marauders and so on.. Some look good, some not so good. Pics are out there. It's personal preference.

    And as noted, Gatorglass has done at least one as there is a pic or video of it somewhere and I believe someone called in a price estimate and it was over $2k maybe? for the work and repaint. Yellow foglights can be bulb changed or the various headlight protective film companies XPEL etc. usually sell yellow film that goes over the lens, might have to cut it yourself and buy a sheet

    No it wont mess it up, it's designed for that use...it's best to make sure your lenses are not pitted from getting sandblasted being close to the road.

    Here is one brand

    If your fog lights are pitted, search cibie or Mazda lights

    The light assembly is not marauder specific, you can get new lights for under 80.00. Aftermarket even cheaper

    Another vote for not messing with the rear bumper. They are exceptionally hard to find and very expensive when you do. If anything got messed up adding the lighting effect, you'd be SOL, especially in Deutschland.

    Second the Bob White decals...inexpensive and can be removed with little difficulty if you want to go back to stock or change colours.
