Why not be transparent and just disclose the pricing on these LED lights?
What's to hide?
Eliminates the PM's back and forth and those that might be interested will know up front if they are an affordable modification.

Nothing to hide whatsoever. Pricing has been on our website for several months now.

So I got my new tinted side marker lights from Pete just before Christmas and today was the first day I was able to install them. I took a bunch of pictures of the install because a lot of you have helped me out in the past and I wanted to return the favor. As previously mentioned it is pretty basic and straight forward. Tools needed:
T15 - A long for the front and a short for the rears.
7mm - socket for the rear
You might need a pair of bent nose pliers. I did, but maybe you will not need them.

Working on the front first:
Turn the wheel you are working on all the way to the inside first. There are 3 - T15 Torx screws on the front edge of the wheel well, remove these. The outside edge of the wheel well actually slides behind the edge of the bumper. If you try to pull the fender skirt out it will not come out because it is locked in by the edge of the bumper. Pull the edge of the bumper straight out towards you to release the edge of the fender skirt. Once the bumper releases the edge of the fender skirt, you can pull the fender skirt straight back towards the wheel so you can get your hand inside to release the light. There are three tabs on the light top bottom and middle that have to be squeezed and pushed through the bumper at the same time. Start at the bottom or the top and work your way through all three. Once all three are released, pull the light out along with the connector. I found getting the connector apart a little stubborn but keep working at pulling them apart and it will release. Once released, connect the stock harness plug to the new light. After I connected the new tinted lights to the stock harness, I turned on the lights to make sure they were working BEFORE I put everything back together. Just make sure you put the lip of the fender skirt back behind the edge of the bumper. Reverse the order of how you took the light out and then do the other front side. Doing the fronts first helped in knowing how to do the rears. They are a little harder because you do not have as much room to work with. Some of these pictures show the difference between the stock / clear lens and the Tinted Lens that Pete offers.
