Quoting as requested...

 

You da man!!!

Thanks, if we were allowed to give rep points. I would. Again, thanks.

 

I installed mine last night, it took me almost 2 hours to this. I had to do all by myself , I just couldn't wait till the weekend for a helping hand. Anyway, the tutorial was pretty easy to follow. I just memorized which bolts and clips to remove and it was fairly easy. I like how the amber now match the side markers on our cars.

I took pictures, but they look similar to CCC's. So they're not really worth seeing. It was already dark when I was finishing up, but this morning I noticed a small gap between the bumper and rear tailights on the passenger side (it kinda sticks out about 1-2 cmm). It's not very noticeable, but it's there. Comparing how perfectly the driver side bumper panel looks. In general, do any of you have this fitment problem? I think that tiny gap was there before I did the install, but now my mind is probably playing tricks on me. I don't know, I might just take off the bumper over the weekend and try to see if I can adjust it for a perfect fitment.

 

Glad the tutorial helped.

I havent noticed any fitment issues with mine at all. Might want to double check that you have the bumper completely clipped in.

 

Yeah, I'll try take off the bumper over the weekend to see what's up. The ends of the bumper (near the wheel well) both, driver side and passenger side clipped in perfectly. There's just this slight gap near the end of the outter tailight that bugs the S*!t out of me. Ooh well, I'll work on it over the weekend.

 

Any tips on removing/replacing the bumper, I've never done it before front or rear. Planning on the tail install Thursday evening.

Good work on the install, jrock!

 

C'mon! Nobody can give me a general idea of how the rear bumper comes off? I know I have to remove the screws + clips, but after that, does it just drop off? Pop out? Is it a pain to do alone, or am I better off having a buddy to help?

I already plan to lay down a big towel so that the bumper does not get scratched on the ground.

 

you just pull it off. have you taken the front bumper off. there are a couple of preasure clips right under the side of each light that old each side on so you have to pull a little but you wont break anything. other than that it just comes right off after you remove those screws and clips in my tutorial.

 

And there you have it. Thanks man. I got the job done today after work. It took me an hour. Cake-walk thanks to your tutorial.

The lights fit perfectly, and I love the look of the amber in person. I can't wait for it to get dark tonight so I can go joyride just to signal, haha.

Now to sell my USDM tails, or maybe find a good LED retrofitter and get my G35 on...

 

I can't seem to remove the plastic clips on the bottom of the bumper, anyone? tips?

 

Those were a pain. I didn't break either but I did snap a little bit of the plastic on each. What I did was take my a small flat-head screwdriver, slide it into the "notch", and then rotate it sideways. I kept doing this until the center of the clip popped out and I was able to pull the clip free.

Hope that helps!

It's really a bitch to get those clips off, I too chipped off a part of a clip. Take your time, you'll get those two clips off in no time.

 

they are really easy in my opinion. just use a flat head screw driver. insert it under the clip and twist.

 

Does anyone know how to reinstall a tail light? It's the piece that wraps around the back of the car on the Driver Side? I busted my tail light and need to install a spare. I ordered the spare online and just need to install. Thakns for help!

 

I would start with page 1 of this thread.
The overall parts are identical.

You had to pass over the installation instructions to post, that is just lazy.

 

thanks dick. if you read page 1 of the thread you'd see that it just covers removing the bumper which is a pre-req for removing tail lights. The author does NOT go into removing the side panel tail light and re-installing it

 

Still have a question on how to do it? Now it is on page one and three. If you need more help, you should just take it to the dealer.

 

really pretty comical that you apparently can't read and need your hand held so just take it to the dealer.

 

It's especially funny how combative and angry he became when that was pointed out.

This tutorial is great, I used it to put in my JDM tails last spring. Very helpful and doesn't leave anything out. Thanks again CCC.

 

Same I even posted pictures of me taking the car apart a few months back.

 

Anyone have their OEM taillight (right outer) and willing to sell to me? My right one was broken this weekend...

 

You missed me 1 week too late i just sold both.

 

Doh! Anyone else have their old tail lights?

 

do you plan on installing yourself? same problem for me, and the dealer wants $115 in labor.

 

where did you order from and how much?

 

Hey anybody want to do one on the EDM rear fog lamp? We have one or two in stock now....

yup, planning on doing it myself. With the pics and how-to in this thread, it looks to be a manageable job.
