Did mine yesterday,a couple of bezels were a pain,but took my time and worked them out.They seem to be a little sticky at the bottom,like they were installed before the paint was fully cured. Didn't drop any nuts,which were only finger tight when I removed them.A little trick for the hard to reach ones,I put duct tape, sticky side out on my finger and stuck the nut to it. Placed it on the stud,pulled my finger out then tightened. After plugging everything in and before fully installing lights,nuts,resistors test in case of a problem. In my case 3 of the four bulb base connections had to be rotated 180 per instructions, then success! I have not hooked up the ground for show mode yet, I need to get a switch.Anyways, that was my experience,...these lights are cool. If everyone had these,they would actually use their turn signals...lol

To each his own, but no way I'd give up 6 hours of time for a mod you'll never see, feel or hear.

I've seen it so I know it's there,more importantly I've seen others see it and think it's cool. To each his own,but it's not all about being the loudest or fastest. Some spend many hr$. to be .3 sec. faster and are still slow.

Install is not as bad as some make it out to be. I had mine installed in an hour and a half.

Well I have mine on order and I don't know if anyone has thought about this but.. why not just remove the rear fascia and make it easy on yourself? I mean the rear Fascia can be removed in about 7 minutes..

here is my DIY.

Great Video!! I am planning on doing this soon to install my side markers and Reverse LED's. I said that I would have done it this way if I had it to do again.

I believe the pink line goes to power... you might need battery power for electronics to work properly you know
read the instructions?
