yes, you have to remove bumper to access DRL but i've also heard of people managed to squeeze their hand and access it from the hood...
Did you have to install resistors for the side marker and license plate lights?

I pulled the high beam bulb out for clearance, then used a small screwdriver to pry the smaller bulb loose. It's pretty tight at first, but once you get it started it comes right out.

Where did you order the LED bulbs? I got ones for my license and ones for my city lights. The license ones made the 'lights out' message in the dash and the city lights didn't even fit (the leds were too big for the holes).
And how did you replace the blinkers? Are there screws from inside the bumper?
Thanks in advance. And please do post some pictures.
