Silicone grease is the same thing, if they're plugs you can get at after install, you're safe to install now and apply the grease when you get it.

Sweet, I’ll be able to get to the diode adapter and OEM fog light wire after the fact
I just can’t get behind the light once I snap it into place

You can but it requires uninstalling everything again

Now I don’t have any dielectric grease should I hold off? I don’t think I can wait ever since these came out I have had my eye on them
Autozone usually has little packets of dielectric grease at the register for a couple cents.

Probably like $1.50 these days. Cheap enough for this.

You are gonna love them.

I haven’t had any fog since getting mine, but I’ve used them a few times in super heavy rain and they work very well.

Hopefully it snows this year and I can try them out in that.

Got the Bilstein 5100's on after work. Should be much better than the factory FX4 shocks.

Well I popped into ace hardware and grabbed some Super Lube grease, the install took about an hour twenty, once I was able to pop the driver side headlight out the passenger was a breeze. I did this with the plastic trim tools from the front. I have to say also having that lower plastic trim off helped as well.

The SS3 sports are plenty bright for my needs, I am really impressed with the kit both fit finish and build quality.

Took some shots this morning in the driveway

Very nice tweezy. They are awesome fogs. Nothing like the pitiful OEM's. DD did a nice job with this kit. I installed the same ones on my truck back in the Spring(I thought it was Spring, looks like Winter in pic.)
