Yah like rubberfrog said.. 15 holes drilled.. its not that bad though.. after you drill the first one then you know your commited and gotta drill the rest!! I didnt silicone these ones cause there just temporary until I get my smoked ones in the mail, then im just gonna swith the lenses, should be here in a week or so!! Then ill silicone them once i change them but no leaks so far..

It took me a bit to figure out too.. undo the 2 in the front.. and theres one in the back.. its a nut.. and then the 4th thing is like a ball and socket.. gotta give it a good tug to get it all unhooked.. just keep pulling and itll pop and out it comes..

Bananafarmer I took some pictures for your viewing pleasures.. The first one is the little cover in the wheel well where the third bolt is hidden.. The second is the ball and socket setup that you have to tug out, and the last 2 is where i put my hands to pull really hard!!

You seal them up with silicone. No worries about leaks, mine have been though some serious rain without leaking. I've installed these for a number of people and no ones come back with a leak.
When are you coming to Cali? ; )

sweet we can knock my level, lift and lights all in one shot.

As far as drilling the holes, the measurements are where you want them to be? Or does it come with pre-designated measurements?
