I just bought some from ijdmtoy.com (I don't recommend them, they have no clue what they're selling you) and they came with instructions specifying three fasteners you need to remove in the wheel well... I turned the wheel and I see one.. From there there's various fasteners and screws all over. It kinda looks like a pain unless I'm missing something? Is it different for 2013 models? By the way I checked every thread I could find and they're not too specific. Help somebody

Send pics of the wheel well if you can, sounds like the 2013 may be slightly different. For mine it was a couple of those plastic push pin things and the liner came right out.

Mine only had 1 push pin per side. I have a 11. I went with amber led to match the existing led.

Yeah sounds like a design change. I have an 09 and I just recently changed the headlight bulbs, had to undo three push pins on each wheel well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06RsfUYhecwI took this for Zteven, but figured that I might as well post it here for anyone else who has a question about this procedure.

Seems simple enough I know but it's a new car and I'm in no rush to mess it up. I thought I had it figured out but your video sealed the deal for me to be sure of what I was doing. Thanks a lot

194 is the correct part number for our parking lights. So yes they are correct. Please take note that some of the LED base of the LED light bulbs them self are wider then Oem and will stretch out the connection part. So in the future if you go back to Oem you might need to bend the connector back to spec so the Oem base of the Oem bulb fits securely.
