pretty easy once you figure out how those stupid metal clips work in terms of accesibility, you shouldn't have any problems

It only takes a few minutes if you have smaller sized hands,I had to un-bolt my horns on one side,move my battery just a bit on the other side,because my damn hands wouldnt fit.
Damn son is never around when I need him!
I got mine from ProCar parts,make sure you put yellow bulbs in place of the clears

i got mine from procarparts.com also. Took about 30 minutes to install, mostly because it was so cold out. I had to remove my battary, unbolt my horns, and unbolt my canister on the passanger side. Look at the clips before u take the side marker off so its easier to understand how to get them back on. This was the best $38 i ever spent on the car

Why don't you guys just reach in under the fender? Takes 5 minutes apiece.... and I have a '92, which has the lowest gfx package.

Thats what I did and my car was lowered as well. I barely fit but it was cake from underneith once your figure out those stupid metal clips. I didn't even need any tools and it took me about 15 minutes.

You re-use your stock bulb assembly. It twsits out of the stock amber lens and you put it into the clear one. The bulb is yellow so you may want to look at getting a white bulb for it. I need to do that because I hate the way a yellow light looks behind the clear corners.
