Was parked
Got into car backed up a few feet cut to turn right pit in drive crunch
The best part is the second pole hit the same exact spot on the running boards as my last incident
Err so much for keeping that bumper

Yes and no. Yes, you can have blinkers, no you can't put new ones into the headlight with out major mods. But you can rewire the current parking lights to blink off then on.

You don't have all those parts on yet? Hahaha. That's crappy luck man. Hope you can still get it done.
As for the blinkers...you can upgrade to 06+ headlights since they have blinkers in them.

check out the little orange blinker in the bumper too. I'm gonna do those with my halos as blinkers. But 06+ is a good move if you don't want to do a retrofit.

Filler panels and wiring harness, each is $28/side. So $120+ S&H. Then either H11 harness and H11 bulb or an H11 HID kit (the ballast will plug right into the factory 9006 connector). Both are about the same price if you get a cheap HID kit.
I was patient and picked up my used OEM headlights separately on eBay for $55 and $65, but if you don't plan to do the black headlight mod you can get some Depo or other brand ones for about $160. Not sure if the projectors are as good, haven't seen any reviews.
I think someone recently had some luck rewiring the parking light to be the blinker on an 03-05 model.
I don't know if you got back to your front end Scott. I just did my LCAs in the driveway. I cheated a bit and bought complete units from Raybestos. Popped right in, but the grease fitting on the ball joint is tough to get to past the CV.
I only had one frozen bolt, the right, rear. My suggestion is a 4 1/2" angle grinder with a metal cutting blade. Put it between the washer and the bushing. Won't mess up the frame bracket and cuts pretty easy. I only had a 4" grinder, which would not quite go all the way through, had to finish up with the Sawzall.
The greaseable bolts worked great. The only issue is getting the front ones in past the axle shaft. You just have to slide the sleeve in from the front about half way, then slide the bolt and washer through from the back. Easy-Peasy.
Off for a much needed alignment. Got some wonky camber going on now. Looks like a NASCAR short tracker.
