Default LED Blinkers

just bought some white LED blinkers and was wondering how to install them. do i have to take the whole front light off or is there an easier way to get to them like the headlights and DRL's?

Thanks.

Are you talking about the front turn signals? You gotta take the bumper off for that. The bulbs come out underneath the headlight.

What? The bumper comes off to remove the blinkers? What kind of BS is that? Theres gotta be a way around that. Maybe just drop the bumper down or something? I can't understand why they'd make a simple blinker bulb replacement require the bumper to come off

I'm not sure if there's any other way than to take it off. The turn signals are so deep in the headlights that there is a flat piece of plastic extender thing that holds the bulb so you can tighten it into the socket.

Taking it off ( BUMPERS ) are easy, putting them back is a PITA.

^ Putting them back on and having it look good is even harder.
