The install process isn't incredibly difficult, but you will most likely run into some issues detaching certain things. My fingers are still a little sore and cut up, but it was worth it. If anyone decides to take this on, I'll be more than happy to give advice.
You're going to need a 90 degree screwdriver like this Ratcheting Right Angle Screwdriver Hex Drive 90 Degree Offset + 10pc Bits Set! | eBay

np20412 explains the process extremely well in the below post. He was very helpful.

Not to be a downer here but you will be violating DOT/MOT regulations. The reason the stock lights don't fill the entire piece is because they are combination sidelights/reflectors. This is a requirement by law. The reflectors are there for safety reasons and there are also red reflectors along the side at the back of the car usually integrated into the wrap around taillights. They are there so that when the car is parked at night, it is visible to oncoming cars. If some ***** of a cop wanted to pull you over they could cite you for it. They usually don't though. I like the look - I'm just sayin'.

Sometimes the clear versions of these do include reflectors which is the best you can do. Not sure if that's the case with aftermarket pieces for our cars though.

You are 100% correct. I'm uninstalling them as soon as possible. I've also decided to remove my illegal window tint. My days of being a rebellious law breaker are over. Thank you for setting me straight.

TT Love the parking, away from all possible hazards, and is good exercise parking in the spots no one wants to walk from.
Love the contrast on the Burgundy roof !

I park far away from everyone with all of my cars, and just about every single time I return to them, there's some giant pickup truck or some other monster parked inches away from my car. It's like the universe is constantly playing some sick joke on me.

PPF, ceramic coating and a blower make washing a breeze. Great top down day in the California desert.
