Default How do I get the Clear Markers in my front bumper?

Hello about 3 months ago I ordered clear JDM Nissan Clear markers for my front bumper. Thank goodness all the instructions are in Japanese, oh wait thats not helpful. Someone who bought them said that it was an easy install, well the instructions I can't read show pulling the front bumper off the car. I am not skilled or brave enough to try this. I was wondering who has tried this on their car and if you could tell me how to do it or point me in the way of some instructions I would greatly appreciate it. Spring is approaching and I would really like to get this done. It would be great if I did not have to Pay Nissan to pull off my bumper. Thank you for any insite you have on this and keep rockin the Z.

its easy

unscrew the screws holding the engine cover, kinda pull it down and you have access to the sidemarkers (it helps to if you kinda pop the plastic wheel well covers back) you kinda have to do most of it by feel. the passenger side is kinda of a pain because its a little cramped due to the diff fluid tanks

Do yourself a HUGE and I mean HUGE favor and get an offset screwdriver, the crooked type. Makes the install a piece of cake. And do not remove the bumper, there is absolutely no reason to. Should only take 30 min. Good luck.

That's the exact tool i used too. On my first attempt, driver's side done, 10min. Passenger's side, not going anywhere, went to buy that tool, done... 20min. You don't need to remove the bumper if you have that tool.

i thought it was easier just poping of the front bumper, there aint crap to doing it my whole install took about hour, and 30 of it was trying to get passenger side marker out with bumper on?just yank front bumper off, and if you dont have hid, its a perfect time to swap out bulbs in your headlights.
