Talking Replacing turn signals with switchbacks in 05 TL

I am looking for a page that shows DIY replacing stock turn signals on an 05 Acura TL with Switchbacks from V-LEDS.com
Looks like I have the right ones, but need to know how to gain access to these lights without taking my front bumper off.

If anyone can direct me,it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey I do have one quick question.

http://www.autolumination.com/switchback.html

this site provides even brighter switch backs. I bought the 48 led ones and they are bright, but you have to change the fuse to a higher amp than the current once being used for your stock turn signal bulb.

Another problem is that since it is 48 led, i think it causes my turn signal to signal very rapidly as if it were about to blow out. I'm wondering if it's because it's 48, or i had bad ones. :\

Let me know how your 20 led works out. ^_^

look like you don't have resistors for your switch back....that's what cause your signal to blink super stupidly aka hyper blink but if i was you i wouldn't use the switchback on autolumination because they are not v2 here check this out
