BUY ALL YOUR PARTS
Since i'm replacing all my halogens with LED i'm removing all the covers that's blocking me from accessing the headlights.
* all red circles are the tabs that needs to be removed*
once your at this point, remove the other tabs and screws that's holding your bumper and covers.
i couldn't get the camera to take a proper pic of where the screws are but you will see around 8- 10 screws under the front bumper that's holding it to a plastic cover. Remove those screws out.
Cut your wheels to one side. On the side of your bumper you will see 2 screw tabs, pop them off from both sides.
once you pop those 2 tabs off pull the plastic out enough so that you can get access to this side bumper screw. Remove this screw from both sides.
once bumper is off unplug both circled plugs which are for your fogs and sensors. Do this for both sides.
twist out your fog lights and replace them with your HID or LED bulbs
DO THE SAME STEPS BUT OPPOSITE TO REINSTALL THE BUMPER.
Replace your HIGHBEAMS
Find your HIGHBEAMS . They should look like that ^
Once you found them, unhook plug and twist it off and take the bulb out.
Once you have the bulb out replace them with your hid or leds.
Penut DRL bulbs
twist this long black tube and take it out, replace the bulb and done.
REVERSE LIGHTS
Pop off the circled tab and it gives you enough room to get access to the reverse lights.
twist out the plug and take out.
once remove replace with your led lights and then reinstall them back in.
I did my blicker lights LED also,
find easy access cover and open it
locate your plug and twist off
once off you replace with your led and reinstall.
ENJOY.

This is great. A few questions for you:
1) I thought turn signals couldn't be LED because LEDs won't blink right. Do the LEDs you used work perfectly or did you need to cut the signal wire and install a resistor?
2) Are the LED turn signals as bright as the stock turn signals?
3) Can you share specifically what bulbs you used for the turn signals?

REPLACING YOUR TRUNK LIGHT WITH LED!!
Thats how it looks like.
pop the easy access off.
once you take off the e-z access, put your hand through the e-z access and pop off the trunk light. It should pop out e-z
once you popped it out, unplug it.
remove the backing case which is held in by tabs on the side.
pop out the old bulb and pop in the LED.
^^ that's a 6pc led. it doesn't fit properly but u can bend back your positive and negative arms a bit to make it fit.
enjoy.

What bulbs did you use for the reverse light LEDs? Is the reverse light brighter than stock?

For the signal, the exterior bulbs blink at regular speed and doesnt change but the interior blinker indicator blinks faster but it doesnt really bug me since exteriors are working at normal speed.
Reverse lights are AMAZING, it makes a huge difference in the reverse camera and you can notice it in your reverse screen PLUS i have smoked tails so you can imagine how bright that has to be. Its way brighter than oem for sure.

individually because hazards are on a different circuit but either way i checked it both ways and regardless it still blinks a normal speed the only thing that changes is the fact that your interior indacator signal blicks faster .

yea no prob i dont mind, if worst comes to worst just order a resistor for your leds. The resistors only cost 7 bucks for a pair.
