2. I personally have the stock round set up with the 68-smd LED bulbs inside instead of the h7 bulb. The LED lights are very hard to get from Japan.

1. Yes you can, it is not extremely difficult, but definitely annoying removing the brackets that come on the bumper and need to be removed. Buy the correct brackets that have the adhesive on the back and they will be used to hold your existing sensors.
