Wanted: Pics of Illuminas

Hope you guys can help me out. I'd like to see some pics of Illuminas. Specifically, installed and the adjustment **** both front and rears. Yeah, a bit of strange request but I'd like to see how easy it will be to adjust them once installed on the car. Thanks

Ok, I get that part. What I want to see is how accessible they are when installed on the car. I'm guessing that the fronts adjustment is easy. Open the hood and they should be at the top of the shock towers. I'd like to see a pic. Now the rears, that's a different story. How do you get at them when installed. THAT's why I would dearly love to see a pic or two. Cheers

rears are on top of shock tower too.. but you have to move the molding in the trunk to get to it..

lucky for me there is a huge box in my way, so i have to take out my backseat if i wanted to adjust them :\

Takes less then 2 minutes to adjust all 4 Illuminas.
Just keep the clips off the rear trunk lining so you can pull it back whenever you want to adjust the rear shocks. Access to the tops of the shocks is clear as day once the lining is moved.

I'll try to get you a picture if I can, but I will agree with everyone that it is very easy to do. With a short flathead screwdriver you can easily reach any of them.

FYI, it's 1 to 5, not 1 to 4.
