Yes, one of the online sources would be best. I've used Cultrag a time or two. No vid I can direct you to... but, have you done an "advanced search" here with C7 designated? As I recall, just pull the inner wheel-well liner and you have access.

Yup on 2nd version the thing people on CF pick on is that they are a little thicker than OEM....so the protrude a little more and are not as flush ....flush enough for me...the good (IMO) they are stunning in comparison to the “reflector based , 2-3 LED having” OEM...stunning .
The fact that you can get them ghosted to your body color...sells it for me
Finally, while ghosting does make it more challenging to take them off and sell..... I never had a issue with those with my body color wanting them for a discount.
