Hey guys, I ordered a set of the clear LED (error free) clear side bumper markers for my 2013 S. Will these just pop off from the outside, or will I have to go thru the inner wheel well liner?
Thanks

You have to go thru wheel well.

Ok, thanks.

You should be able to do it just by turning the wheel all the way in one direction. Then just remove the plastic rivets and sneak past the fender liner.

There's a bracket that you push forward that holds the light to the bumper.
Make sure you connect the light socket to the light before you slip the bracket back in place.

It's a clamshell mount, where the inside part has receivers for tabs on the outside part. The outside piece has two hook shaped tabs on one end and a flat locking tab on the other. Set the hook shaped ones first, so the two pieces come together then lock them in with the flat tab.

Thanks all, I will attempt tomorrow and report back.

What color is your car? The reason I ask the surround on that light is silver.
I had to exchange mine because my car is black...

Manofsteelpt

Ahhhh, I see what u mean now... Luckily my car is Andorite Grey, so the silver trim is fine on my car.

Install was fairly simple, hardest part was opening the wheel well trim and getting my fat hand inside. Lil tricky doing the p/s cuz I'm right handed and had to do it all w my left. Glad I did the d/s 1st to see how it worked. Worked exactly as Mike5215 said.
Thanks for the help and tips guys! For $75 it looks 100 x's better now!

I did the same thing on my black S550; looks much better than the orange!
