LED Halos Finally Fitted (More pics added)

What an epic day, my hands are sore as hell and every muscle aches but after 4.5 hours my halos are fitted. The tutorial I found on here for removing the bumper was pretty poor so I plan on putting a better version out there soon. The pictures were ok, but despite following it there were areas where I had to freestyle to figure out what to do.

I can confirm that the biggest frustration was getting those two 8mm bolts undone from behind the wheel arch liner. Here's some pics:





Much thanks goes to Tunna for the help before buying and Teddy at SSDD for the LED's (and a great price!)

p.s. Tunna (or anyone else with LED halos) are you ever tempted to drive around well lit areas at night with jus the halo on?!

definitely, there's scratches all over them a few hours later. No blood though, so I didn't do too bad!

What did you find difficult? I thought the guide was spot on and was exact for my bumper. The annoying part is having to do up the bolt under the headlight before its in place. That really is a stupid design!!

Yes. Done it on occasion but only with the later 6w LED version. The 3w was too dim.
