Unfortunately, yea. There is a small plastic piece screwed to the bottom of the tails that the bumper clips onto. You have to transfer those to the new ones. Removing the bumper was actually pretty easy though, there are a few videos on youtube. Just be careful with the clips behind the marker lights, they break easy. Use your hands to pry them apart just enough to slide a flathead screwdriver in to pop them free.

Phastek Hero tail lights installed

Those taillights make me like the 14/15 camaros a little more. Look really good!

It was more like 20 years ago. I had a 1998 Acura Integra GSR when I was into import cars. Clear taillights and clear corners were a big thing back then.

What is it in the video that makes both of the sequential lights come on, the hazards? I assume that is the turn signal. Is there anyway to have a normal on/off flash rather than the sequential?

How does the backup light look? Better or on par with the OEM lights?

Yes those are hazards, the signals do the same thing. There is no way to turn it off that I can see. Not sure why you'd want to though, that's the part I like most about them.

Just as bright, if not brighter. I tried to snap a picture of them but the picture didn't do them justice, they're much whiter and brighter in person.

Thanks for trying. I was hoping they'd be brighter
