nope, no need to take the wheel off, just crank the wheel so the front of the wheel is pointed outward, then its simply 3 clips and a couple of bolts to remove the front splash guard, it was easy for me because i previously installed my clear corners

o and thanks for the compliment

Only way I know is to remove the headlight and bake it in the oven or with a heat gun(dangerous since you can warp the plastic) to split them apart. Just as it's done when you do a blacked out headlight.

I blacked my headlights and removed the plastic "diffusor" but now I'm afraid I messed it up since the automatic height adjustment on the beams aren't working. Dunno if the US-spec have automatic adjustments but the EU ones do. Browsing this forum now to see if I can get any input on the subject, if any of you have some insight on the matter please let me know.
