Well got my jdm taillights installed
put mats or cardboard just something to protect bumoer from getting scratched on the ground
Also a DIY post
take clips off bottom first
if you have madflaps
under the flaps theres a screw
side upper corner screw
cap you can see with trunk open pop off easily 10mm under x2
theres a t25 torques bolt you dont have to take off but I did cuz didn't know
pull sides back slowly and carefully, clips come loose then pops off easily
3x 8mm nuts behind plastic cover and unplud the 3 light plugs
2x 10mm nuts on underside of light and whole reason you have to remove the bumper, black bracket holding it on
like the pic says
you will notie new lamps dont use the p-nut bulb so just leave it in you oem light
now reverse order and tell to make sure everything works and good to go

Re: Well got my jdm taillights installed
lol please you know reaching those 20 nuts on a teg is a pain as the plastic panel is digging into you arm then the nut falls and goes under you spare tire..... interior parts are more work but nothing too bad. acutally wiring up V1 radar in my buddies M3 was pretty easy and same goes for my GF's 08 5 series
