CHMSL or not?

My CHMSL housing is busted anyways, and since the CHMSL is not required, here in Texas, I'm considering just taking it off completely, and just filling the decklid & spoiler holes for the bolts.

Opinions? Anybody ever do this?

Do a search, this was covered a few weeks ago. With the 1986 lights, you can just unscrew the CHMSL from the inside and cover the hole with some sillicone and a hatch bolt.

I know HOW to do it already, that's not a problem. And mine is an 87, so there are 2 bolts holding it to the hatch, then the wing has to be removed, then 2 more bolts holding it to the wing.

If they miss my STS lights, they are freaking BLIND!

Maybe you could hook up a horn, to your turn signal then! blink/HONK, blink/HONK, blink/HONK!
