Well the one on the driver side is very simple. Pop the hood, take a screwdriver and unscrew the two screws. Put you CF Reflector in it's place, put the two screws on and you are done. The one on the passenger side is very tricky. You have the windshield washer fluid tank in the way, so unless you got really small hands it is best to remove it. Or you can go the hard route like I did. Unbolt the plastic piece that is in front of your wheel. Pull your fender out with one hand and reach in there withe other to tighten the screws on your new reflector. Getting you old one off is still pretty easy on this side, it was tightening the new one that I struggled with. Just remember, where thereis a will, there is a way.

Bellas lancer was a project... for the driver side just take a few screws out of the fender liner and then you can get to the back of the reflector... for the passenger side I took the headlight out and unbolted that side of the front bumper.. had bella hold the bumper while I unscrewed the reflector.

I did it the same way as norcal, but removing the front bumper is not hard and will make instalation a snap. If you plan on doing foglights, buy them soon and install both at the same time.

instead of unscrewing anything or poping off your lights all you have to do to get to your reflectors is reack under and pop the little pop plug(screw thingys) that hold the plactic under layer...all you need is a basic screwdriver and you can reach your reflectors with ease fron under

You have to remove your splash guards to get at your reflectors right? I tried to remove the splash guards but they're some weird kind of screw called a "torx" screw so i was unsucessful.
