No need to pull the front bumper. Just pull the wheel wells. Don't even jack up the car or remove the wheels.
Crank the wheel to the left and do the driver's side. Crank the wheel to the right and do the passenger side.
I can't believe someone would pull off the bumper for turn signals.

I edited my post above to ask for a better picture of the rears. Can you try and get some better pics please. Looks good!

I know it's not hard too do, but certainly is overkill. Kinda like pulling out the seats to swap a shifter. But hey, if you were also installing a carpet kit it would make sense.

I'll take the car over to the wash later tonight and snap some pics. Right now it's covered in salt and bird **** (neighbors put up a new bird house...)

For the rears, I thought we might have to pull the bumper, but just removing those 3 screws on each side gave me enough room to pop them out. The back ones take no time because they have a pressure clip that holds them in place.

It seemed like when we had the bumper loose that the inner fenders didn't really flex much. I only removed two screws on each side (the ones that attached to the bumper itself).

Take the (2) clips from the top dead center where the wheel well pieces overlap. Take one clip out from the "deepest" section of the wheel well by the brake lines. Take the other (2) clips out from the front most section of the wheel wells. Take out the (2) screws you mentioned attached to the bumper and one from underneath the skid plate that holds the wheel well in place. Now maneuver the wheel well out of the way and have perfect access without removing the bumper.
The clips all come out with a quarter turn of a Phillips and you just pull them out. Really simple to do. Takes 2 minutes for each side. Another 3 minutes to swap the bulbs and mount the new lens.

Looks like putting our heads together we've figured out the easiest way to install all the reflectors.
I'm getting ready to leave work, so I'll run the car through the wash and take some pictures after.

Since the rear lenses aren't bolted in place can you gingerly pop them out using a plastic putty knife or a screwdriver wrapped in something soft as to not scratch the paint?

I think I'll go smoke/black.
I think that'll look best on Sterling Grey.
What do you think Steve? (since you are lucky enough to be looking at a pair of smoke/black on your car)
1. Overboost, full set, clear/black
2. Yasuro, fronts, smoke/black
3. Big Poppa, Full Set, smoke/black
4. SD6, Full Set, smoke/black
5.

Are you going to tint your windows at some point? If you're going to do black accents of some type down the road, then go smoke/black. Otherwise, I think clear/black will really blend in well on a Sterling Grey car personally.

Thanks Steve. If that's the case (and based on what I've read here about the relative ease of installation), I'm in! Put me down for the white/clear set.
