i bought these and want to install them but is it possible without taking the bumper off? any help from anyone who's replaced stock orange ones with clear ones?
cheers

 

It is possible. IMO, it's just as easy to take your bumper off though and will save your arms from getting all scratched up. With minimal tools, bumper removal is about a 15 min job and will make your life and arms happy

 

+1 Just remove the bumper. A jack helps speed this process up a lot in my experience.

Also, are you sure you don't mean clear corner reflectors?

 

clear corner reflectors sounds right... i'm talking about the lights on the side of the bumper under the headlights. anyways, the nissan dealer told me it would take 3 hours to remove the bumper and would charge me all that labour! does it really take 15 minutes? if so, i'm gonna call them today and give them ****!

 

3 HOURS!??! Maybe with a one arm mechanic and 4 coffee brakes!?? DO IT YOURSELF!!!

 

20 mins max to remove the front bumper, and getting to the screws on that passenger side reflector is a PITA without taking the bumper off. easy job to do it yourself.

 

Yeah, it's a short job. Took me maybe 20 min removing the bumper my first time. (Longest part was figuring out that the top part of the pop-rivets came all the way out. -_-') Like I've said before, a jack helps a bit to remove the bolts under the wheel well. It's that or a socket with a few extensions.

 

Removed my bumper at least 7 times within the 4 months of ownership. It's very straightforward.

 

3 hours labor haha...that's slang for bend over and take your pants off.

 

Two CC threads in a week!

If you are even a little DIY-inclined, it is a fairly easy job. DIY: https://my350z.com/forum/body-interior-exterior-and-lighting-diy/203246-how-to-front-bumper-removal-l-e-d-clear-corners-install-w-pix-ares-s-06-ccs.html

 

It might take 3 hours if they are going to be training one of the tech's younger autistic brothers to do it.

Honestly if they quote 3 hours for that job, you might think twice about trusting them with anything on your car.

 

i didnt take of my bumper..... just jack up the front of the car and craul under it and 5 min later the job is done.......

 

It can be done, but honestly, taking the front bumper off saves your hands, and a LOT of time.

The front bumper has about 4-5 clips between the headlights, 2 screws in each wheel well, and 6-8 screws under the front lip.

Trust me when I say, Take the bumper off!
