other than look can I ask what is the point of an LED turn signal conversion?
I understand (to a point) the point of brake and tail lights as is lowers used wattage, which can be redirected toward other things like stereos and radar detectors. But I don't see the point for turn signals, they aren't on long enough to affect wattage usage, and with the various types of load resistors needed to stop the fast flash you risk vehicle fire and they actually load up the power systems.
not knocking the mod, looks great.. just seeking to understand the point.

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.

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.

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?
