Just curious, what's the process of getting the RGBW halos installed? Is the headlamp difficult to take apart without damaging it?

LOL...yeah, pulling the front bumper off is a process, but it does get easier each time.
Installing the RGBW halos themselves were very easy...it's just swapping out the board with the new one and running the new wires out of the head light.
However, getting to them was a pain. I watched several YouTube videos before attempting to open up the headlights. What worked for me was to bake the headlight at 250 degrees (F) for about 15 minutes and then used a wide assortment of flat tip screwdrivers to separate the lens from the housing. Once I got one of the corners started, I found using a long, thin screw driver worked best, as I could slide it between the lens and housing while it gave me just enough leverage to pry it apart. Also, don't hesitate to stick it back into the oven. I had to put the first headlight back in 2 or 3 times before I could get it apart.
As long as you are careful with the screwdriver, and make sure you have a soft towel down on your workbench, you can open them without any damage to the headlights. I did have one slip, but fortunately it was along the top of the lens and is completely covered by the bumper.
