much harder on the Z, i had a 2000 eclipse and they just screwed right in, but with the Z you basically have to take the bumper off and install them from the inside..


edit: took me about 2 hours on the Z, only 5 minutes on the eclipse..

Takes 10-15 minutes to take the front bumper off. Or Im pretty sure you can just take the wheels/tire off the front corner your working on and reach the sidemarkers from underneath. Either way, not as convenient as in other cars, but far from hard.

If you have access to a jack, it is fairly easy. Just have to remove the plastic protective from underneath the car and then unscrew-old and screw-new.

Only thing you might need is a short, stubby screwdriver as the windshield wiper fluid is located in a position right in front of the right sidemarker...
