the driver side is not that bad...the passenger side you have the windshield washer resevoir to deal with..be prepared to fight with them and get frustrated because it is a tight fit but i put mine on a couple of weeks ago with the hyper-white bulbs and it was so worth it...put the hid head and fog lights and you will be very pleased

The only thing I had to fight with was the fender splash guards. Once you get those out of the way/removed the rest is really easy.

I'd just make sure you have a long flat head screwdriver, a plastic bit for prying the splash guard and some needle nose plyers.

The screwdriver helps when releasing the clips on the lenses and the needle nose (or pliers) are needed to squish the clip, using the screwdriver after you have one released keeps the lense from popping back on while you get in position to release the other one.

I didn't have any problems with the washer res, it just reduced a little bit of hand room but like I said I had to fight to get the splash guards out, but patience and that plastic flat prybar type thing helped there.

APC = Always Produces Crap i have NEVER seen a single APC light that was quality.

if you can find it TYC is one of the best manufacturers of aftermarket lighting products that i have found. fit is great, and they dont leak.

I put a clear 3M film over mine. also i peeled the lining out just a bit and it was a breeze. however i didnt have a small enough screw driver and running 20's called for removing the front wheels. but still 30 mins and i was done

Royal pain in the forearms for me. I refused to take the wheels off and didn't want to mess with the splash guards. I ended up removing three or four splash guard retaining screws and pulled it back. The passenger side was a major pain because that's where the cold air intake track runs for the KB.

I'm really pleased with the subtle appearance change they provide.

I bought mine from ModifyMyStang.com and including bulbs it was $75.50. Can't speak to the long term quality as they've only been on the car a month or so. They look exactly like the originals, but lack a DOT number...
