Quick Questions

Hi all, I have 2 questions to ask need some advice

1) Wheelie did not come with fog lights, but I would like to have them, can I get them installed with the same kind that Chevy uses on HHR's that already come with them?, with the Fog light button included?, or is that not possible?

2) I want to install an automatic liftgate opener on Wheelie, here is why, I am a handicap, and as i posted before on an earlier post on another topic, I have a rolling walker that I use to get around, one of my problems with my handicap is that i do not have any balance, I have to grab onto somthing to lift my walker up and put into Wheelie, my problem is trying to open his liftgate without losing my banlance, I always have to sit first and press the button and pull the liftgate up, then stand back up and hold onto something then continuing...Can I get an automatic liftgate opener on Wheelie??

Thanks for the info!

Yes, yes, and yes.

Have no idea, but with enough money or the right skills anything is possible.

You could try the units used on the new GMC Acadia, it has the auto liftgate w/ remote control.

Wheelie can go to a factory who modifies van for handicaped peoples they turn slide doors on a mini-van to one who flip up/down with an activator or another electronic device? as for the fog lights, you can buy aftermarket ones or factory ones . NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
