Go to post #3. Great directions. I used them and had no problems at all. I did use jack stands and not ramps. Once you do the first one the second one takes 1/4 the time. Just make sure you test to make sure the bulbs work and their not 180* out, don't ask.....then button everything back up Bill

I used the headlight removal method to install mine, intercoolers are in the way to do it underneath. The headlight method isn't too difficult if you can't get the front end raised. It's just a little time consuming to get the headlight covers and brackets realigned.

That's white led bulbs. Your screen might show them a little more blue than they actually are.

We don't have blue leds for the DRL portion, but we have blue led strips if that's what you're looking for.

We do have amber corner lights.

If you're talking about splitting up the led strip in blue and then yellow for a little piece we cant do that.

We will have the corners in later this week (all clear). They are $120 shipped with no leds at all.

You would need to send your corners in to us.

The LED Strip is white- $87

Amber corner bulbs- $19

White DRL bulbs- $25

This link says C6, but they both use the same bulbs for the DRLS.
