I was able to access the passenger side bulb from the top. There was not enough room for my hands on the driver side though.

How did you put the wheel well back on? More specifically the bumper screw clamp.

not knocking the mod, looks great.. just seeking to understand the point.
It just looks cleaner you know? I'm getting mine installed after seeing this

I didn't completely remove the wheel well. I just removed enough screws to give me room to work with. The screw clamp is pretty easy to remove you just unscrew the philips head screw until it pulls out and then rotate the clamp part thats holding the wheel well to the bumper.

Yep thats the same clamp I have. Just pull the center screw out all the way and the pull the clamp out. I think mine was already broken so it would rotate out of the way.

Default License plate lights

Did you replace the license plate lights too? They seem to be brighter than the stock lights that the GS comes with.

Hey did you use resistors? And if so can you guide me on how to do the front since they are double filament? All help will be appreciated.

The resistors that came with my kit literally are plug and play. There's no need for splicing

And for the rear did you mount them if so where and how? Same for the front. I have the rear ones stalled but not mounted should I mount them or will the rear be fine?
