Haha, it's 21 with a wind chill or 11. I can wait till Friday.

Btw, how hard of an install are these? I use to be able to pull both tail lights out of my 98 mustang in about 5 minutes total. I know it's now going to be this easy on the tl but what kind of time am I looking at.

Take the a screw out in the fender and pull the bumper down (don't need to take it off) then take out the bolts underneath the Taillight and the nuts from inside the trunk.

I don't know about the tails, but the sidemarkers take like 20-30 mins all together. Very straight forward and easy, although it helps to have smaller hands/arms so you don't have to take apart as much. They are just plug n play.

Yup. There are bumper removal DIY videos in the sticky, and as mentioned, you don't have to take the bumper all the way off. Just be careful with it being this cold...if you can get access to a heated garage, IMO that's better. There's bending and flexing of plastic/fiberglass involved and to me that's a little risky when it's that cold. Normally flexible things can get brittle.

I might look into taking the whole bumper off then since it's only going to be 38 here on Friday.

All that and you would have to swap out your LED boards from your old lights to the new one. But that can be done in the house!!
