i considered it very difficult as I included my own headlight service in the rating

This was also my first time doing any major bodywork, so I took my time and went slowly. I actually had to remove the bumper twice and install twice between a few days because the original LED units were not drawing enough power and causing issues. Just so many chances to scratch paintwork or not aligning the bumper in install.

By the way anyone with the Bi-xenon lights I strongly recommend you to upgrade the turn lights to LED

I used Tireius, they are made in China and I suspect many are just rebranded from one company, you can find many similar ones.

YES plug and play. Most the H7 LED units with the bulky fans have built in circuitry and resistors to control light output.

Do NOT buy Single bulbs like what I originally had.
