was it worth it? you may ask... NO. does it look good... yes. if you ever want to replace your parking lights dont do it... unless you have a lot of time and patience...

I've done this at least 4 times and it's both SUPER easy and looks awesome.
Here's my leds vs OEM lights

Read your other post - could have just added reply instead of whole new thread and one w/o explanation.

i think it would be easier to just take off the bumper then to screw around with that. but i like the way it looks... but next time ill do things differently lol

i did do it the hard way... damn first bulb fell in the housing w/o tape. next one with tape so it was impossible to take out cause the tape kept it from coming out. plus it was cold to the tape was not sticky. also if you drop the bulb in. the best way to take it out is with a wire and tape on a sewing thread. so the thread would grab one of the two little wires lmao
