i got the Predator Ice eyes.
they are a bit longer than stock so i needed to put the back of it down first and it almost just snapped into place.

I installed mine without removing the headlight but i guess it all depends on the size of your hands since it's pretty tight. I think some members used some long pliers to do it but I'm not sure

you don't need to take the light out.

i was also able to get my hands in the opening to do the work. but i have small hands i guess.

Taking out the headlight is really simple...It took me about 45 mins. on GoRovers car.

I just got mine in too. Just like the last time I had to take my headlights out. No big deal. It took me about 30 minutes since I dropped a bolt and had to undo the liner under the car to get it

The angel eye units were a little tight trying to "snap" them in once they were in place. I had to use pliers to get them turmed in tight.

(Yeah for those of you that didn't have to take your headlights out...WOW you must have small hands! )
