Huge thanks man. Procrastinated going to the dealer to get this and the passenger a/c vent fixed. Had already seen your Amazon LCI Taillight upgrade and decided to go ahead and roll the dice on a pair (so far zero issues). Went back to see the install video for guidance and seen you had just uploaded this video and the a/c vent fix. Came in clutch man knocked both issues out today and it worked.

@@FullBoltOnGarage The trouble is that the dealership doesn’t even make that much money on a -repair- replacement like that. They have to buy the parts and have huge overhead costs. I’m not defending them (at all) it’s just that I detest them replacing parts instead of doing actual repairs.

Thank you so much for the super detailed tutorial! My G30 was slightly different (There was a 3rd plug in the middle. More of that towards the bottom.), but I was able to do it, but unfortunately, I'm out of luck. I have the crappier issue that the top strip is just not lit on the left and right sides and unfortunately this method didn't fix it. Guess I'll just have to live with it lol. For me, the only hard part for this DIY was actually just the first part. I struggled to remove the cover. My advice for those who struggle with that too is to use a flat head screwdriver and push the top clip forward then squeeze the screwdriver on the top portion and push it out. For those who have a 3rd plug that's in the middle and don't want to unplug it, I was able to do this no problem with all the connectors on. It only makes it slightly tedious to do, but it's still doable.
