That's when I bought them as well. On cyber Monday. U dont have to remove the lights in order to install them. Jus make sure u have a solid xacto knife. Mine was super dull so I have to use a kitchen knife lol

Looks good! Very subtle, not blacked out like others I've seen.

Axmily - The medium is pretty dark and holds back a lot of light output. I would strongly recommend that you get the ligher ones unless you only drive during the day time hours.
