  • Installing Draw-Tite Class II Hitch Part # 36187 on 1992 Buick Century
  • You are in luck! No drilling is required, nor do you have to remove the bumper. The hitch uses existing nuts welded into your frame. With an older vehicle such as yours, there is probably a fair amount of corrosion and road grime built up in there. To prevent breaking these nuts loose from the frame, you will have to make sure they are nice and clean before installing the bolts. We recommend soaking the weld nuts with a spray lubricant like WD-40 and scrubbing them with a wire brush. We...

  • Can Rear Fascia Door Be Reinstalled on 2014 Buick Enclave After Installing Trailer Hitch

  • Installing Tail Light Converter Part # 119178KIT to 1998 Buick Park Avenue
  • The easiest place to access the wiring that you would need to tap into is behind the tail light assemblies inside the trunk. Pull any carpet or lining away from the rear of the tail lights, and locate the wiring harnesses exiting the tail lights. Start on the drivers side. Ground the white wire to clean metal on the inside of the trunk. If you can find a factory grounding point nearby, go ahead and use it. Otherwise, use a self-tapping screw. Then, have a helper turn on the left turn signal....
