Sure! I'll try to help you out as best I can. The wiring system I used isnt the greatest but there are several ways to improve upon it.
Are you replacing with a stock bumper or an aftermarket? I just want to warn you that this will require CUTTING into the piece. There is ZERO ROOM for mistakes if you do this, or you'll be out a lot of cash. I supose if you have a shop do it for you, you might be OK, but man, that's going to be expensive. I did practically all this stuff myself. Freestate heat-forming the plexiglass diffuser to match the chin spoiler stunk up the kitchen for a few hours.
That was mostly from the RTV silicone used for the custom mold though.
There is a product that is VERY close to what I have and will be FAR cheaper, however, the lights will shine perpendicular to the face they are mounted to rather than angled like mine (mine shine directly forward to the front, vs outward like fish eyes) You can find them here:

Now, there are ways to get around this, but you will loose the dotted light effect. I can help you with that too. The A&J Racing set uses 9 lights per array vs 15 in mine.
Otherwise, I used LED Microstars. They are waterproof, and encased in a SS machined housing. You can find those at
www.theledlight.com They are quite $$$ though. You will also need a voltage filter too whih run about $12 a piece, but you will only need 1 or 2 depending on how you wire it. I made a wire map if you need it.
