Anyone did a e90 lci painted reflector install?

I have a 2011 335i sedan and the painted reflectors just arrived. I watched an install on YouTube it seems easy enough just use a heat gun, flat head screw driver to remove the reflectoctor , remove exces glue and install painted reflector. But when i went to look at my car it seems my car I have to remove the cover in the wheel well to access the reflector. Just want to make sure is that what am I suppose to.

Yes, just unscrew a couple of bolts enough for you to stick your hand in between and help remove the old reflectors. You have to be constant with the heat gun and be patient. I took about 15 minutes per side. Good Luck
