@Aztec taking off the bumper is easy peasy. I can do it in 15 mins. Just make sure you get all the clips out!

It's not that bad. Just be careful with the tabs that hook into the headlight assembly. Marker light clips are pretty funky too.

I honestly doubt it'll be THAT bad, but I really mucked up when i installed the smoked side markers earlier this year. Splicing wires without wire nuts isn't a good idea...

On that note would anyone like to help me make the side marker wiring BETTER and pop off a bumper??? @Ultramaroon @Chen

I don't have a crimper. But I can bring duct tape and twist them together lol. Also, I have no electrical experience. So @Ultramaroon might be taking lead on this.

I'm free Saturday but be prepared to take it nice and slowly. What kind of wire nuts were you thinking? I do my splices by hand. Solder/potting/heat shrink tube.

I can do either day. But I do have a Birthday to attend friday night by like 9 or 10

As for sat. i can swing by during the day but then headed to the beach after the gf gets off work. My headlights are just going to be pointing at the sky i think. I have them on the lowest setting and they still point up.

@Tommysfrs, I just realized we stole your thread. I didn't even think about where I was typing.

My humble apologies, sir.

You don't need to take off the bumper for the install but it makes it a lot easier to install if you do

I might end up trying to install it without taking off the bumper first. Taking out the stock airbox etc
