Thank you for the video. I’m going to have to replace mine shortly. I would suggest taking off the tire just to have extra room. It is an extra step, but I just had to replace something else and that made it a lot easier.
I have the same car I want to put the same lights, but I am looking to buy the reflector's with Led's lights in them I tried to fine them so far. no luck.
Unfortunately you can’t re-use them, the plastic piece breaks off when you install them so they won’t be long enough. Here is a good video of them being installed: ua-cam.com/video/PN4vQZtKnRY/v-deo.html
I know you're gonna want to kick yourself, but the grille right in front of the reflectors pops out, and you can do that in 5 minutes without pulling the inner fender skirt. Same access as changing fog lights.
Appreciate the video and effort. Curious on a couple of points? The front lower grill pops out and is just adjacent to the reflector. And is pretty big. Why did you go from the wheel well? And it seems you take out way more fasteners then needed? Just curious...
The foglight bezels do come off really easy and do give you access to the reflectors, but from what I remember (2 years later) I couldn't see where I was reaching and couldn't get as much power to pry off the reflectors. Also, installing the new reflectors would be tougher (I didn't want the adhesive contacting something as I blindly installed) and then to firmly hold the reflector while the adhesive bonded would be harder.
Hi, is the smoke side marker with camera a plug and play component, as my one doesn't come with a camera, if I want to switch to the grey marker, please.
They are called Eagle Eye leds (I bought them from eBay). The ones I bought have both amber and white leds so they also function as signals. Here is a video of them: ua-cam.com/video/Rd4pXer9WRM/v-deo.html. After a little more than a year and a half I had some start flickering and the lenses pop off so I will be finding a better option in the future. They looked really good while they worked though.

Looks Better
Also great video 👍
Can you reuse the fasteners that you had to use a punch to get out? About to replace my nephews reflector and don't have any extra.

Yes, it is plug and play. If you don't have the side camera just purchase ones that don't have the hole for the camera.
What lights are in the vent area on the front of the bumper?

Can you shoot me some pics of them in the day light?
