[QUOTE=MOOK3456;7135512 Thats great if you have a lift. For the driveway I found it 100x easier to just remove the lowest front screw of the inner fender (splash guard) and install them from the wheel well. I did it with the tires on which was a bit cramped but worked fine. If I had to do it again I'd likely put it on a jack stand and take the tire off. But either way is easier than what they instruct.[/QUOTE]
How did you jack up the car to do this or just turn the wheels outwards?

I didn't jack it up, like I said if I had to do it over, I would have jacked it up and removed the wheel. If not you have to turn them all the way inward. With stock tires you may have more room turning 'em outwards but I got wides so there was no shot that way.

Ah good, I still have stock tires... for now. When you turned them inwards, how were you able to still reach a screw on the splash guard?

Ah yeah man, the screw on the splash guard can be reached without moving anything. It's right on the outer edge of the wheel well. The only reason for moving the tire is-
1- To fit the actual fog lamp between the splash guard and fender
2- To screw it in. You won't get your hand in there otherwise.
You also need a stubby screwdriver. A reg length won't fit in there unless you do take the tire off. I should also mention that there are clips on each side that the fog light will snap into so you don't have to hold it in place while messing with lining up screws.
It really is simple to do. The wiring is really cake also.

hey guys dont me to change the subject or anything but does anyone know if these lights would fit in the 2010 CDC Chin spoiler? Ive been waiting for the lights to come out for them and I was thinking about tying these but im a little skeptic about how they would fit and how to wire them up.

I guess you would have to call CDC to find out or email them. I'd imagine that they would make the fog housing the same as factory so those with them can easily swap 'em in. But obviously couldn't say 100%. The wiring would be the same...Just the housing size you need to worry about.
