Once you've taken the bumper off once you find that it actually is not too bad. Please let me know how the wiring goes. I remember things being pretty tight around the headlights the last time I took the bumper off (but then again I wasn't looking to do any wiring).

Talking Yup VIC is right

Jesse (3rdpower),

I'm glad the package got to you. Taking the bumper off actually is fairly easy. Just be careful when wiring because there isn't a lot of space. As long as you have patience and wire them up right your are set.

Be sure to send pictures. As I have not seen them on a Lemans Z or any other color then my daytona blue.

If you have any questions e-mail me at Service@StrictlyZ.com

Just did the LED install last night. I actually was able to do it without taking the bumper all the way off. It wasn't that bad at all. It helps alot to have a friend working on one side will you do the other. Thanks StrictlyZ, I love em!

A nice set of pictorial directions comes with the lights.

The instructions actually are hard to figure out... Or maybe i'm just dumb. I was looking around and can't seem to find any clips in the fenderwells. Also, do you have to take out both fenderwells to remove the bumper?? How do you get to the screws that are above the tire? Do you use a REALLY short screwdriver?

You don't have to take the wheel off do you? Can you do it (remove the bumper and install the LEDs) without ramps or do you need to get the car up on them?

Just jack up the car one side at a time. No, you dont have to take off the wheels. The clips are kind of hard to see without a flashlight. The fender inserts are in two pieces, you really only need to take out the front sections.
