Installed my new LED side markers
I installed them without taking off the bumper. I just removed the front piece of the spashguard. Yes, it is very hard to install the passenger side marker because of the water reservoir. IT only took less than 10 minutes on the drivers side. They look AWESOME. Sorry no pics. I need to get a digital camera.

How were you able to splice the wires? You could get to them w/out taking out the bumper?? Also, did you jack your car up? I can't seem to remove the screws or clips of the splash guard because there's so little space between the splash guard and the tire.

Yes, I jacked the car up one side
at a time. You will run the wires through a hole that had a rubber tubing going through it. Just like the pictures shows that comes with the new Markers. You will use the red splicers that come with it and use pliers to splice into the green and black parking light wires. The LED's red goes to the Green and the LED's black goes to the back parking light wire. Trust me. There is no need to go to the trouble of taking off the bumper. It took no time to do the drivers side but with the correct philip screwdriver the passenger side can also be done. Oh yeah, turn the tire inwards so it will give you a little more room to work. Good luck.

Screwdriver
Just have available a wide range of lengths. It all depends on how big you had is and well you can feel because you will be doing it blinded. The top screw on the passenger side was the hardest. The bottom one wasnt that hard at all. Just dont mess up the head of the screw. You will never get a long philps in there. After you get the spashguard off you will see the hollow tubing of the front bumber. I dont know what you call it but it has two channels. A upper and lower. I found that if I up the grip of the screwdriver up in the bottom on that I could get it aligned with the screw better. Good luck

I didn't have to remove my bumper when replacing the side marker as well. I had to use "special" screwdriver, which is like an offset screwdriver. You can't really get to the top screw on the passenger side without using this special screwdriver. At least not for me. I didn't want to remove the bumper since I am afraid I can't align it back correctly.
It took about 30min for the whole job.
Now if someone can figure out how to block/strip the orange lens in the headlight
