I had the front bumper cover off because of a broken retainer clip I needed to replace anyway so the light replacements went really quickly. The front grill and bumper cover can be removed in 20 to 30 minutes so if you are changing all the lights I recommend removing it because all of them are easy with it off. The high beams would be the easiest with the bumper cover still on. The low beams and fogss need to be accessed from front wheel wells if the bumper cover is still on. The nike are the trickiest with the bumper cover on but still doable.

Here is a pic with the bumper off. The nike lights in this pic are different than where I ended up. I didnt like these and swapped them out with the brighter LEDs in my link above in previous post.

nice. Are these literally just plug and play? No mods needed?

I'm going to get all the bulbs and take them to the dealer and tell them it takes about 30 minutes for the regular guy to take the bumper off. I'll demand that they install my bulbs and charge me for one hour labor. If they Squawk, I'll let them see this thread. But, I'll be respectful.

Yes plug and play for all of them. The high beams have an in-line driver module that tucks in behind the dust cap by the bulb. All others are bulb only.

I noticed that you installed those in 2015. Also, back then you were using Royal Oak hardwood lump charcoal. Question is, are the light bulbs still working and, are you still using Royal Oak?

so if I get the low beams, I just swap out the old ones and pop these in? Is the daytime running lights the same as the low beams ?

The DRL are part of the high beam light not low beam. I have my DRL disabled via Carista anyway, but if you go with the Sealight hi beam LEDs I used you will lose DRL functionality.

Yes, the low beams I linked are plug and play. No modification needed.
