Help with V3 Triton Installation

Hey guys, I recently purchased the Osram CBI 5K D2S bulbs, V3 Red LED Lights for the rear turn signals, V3 Switchback 5K LED turn signals, CREE MT-G2 High Power LED fog lights, 5K Vleds reverse lights, 5K license plate LEDs, and 5K City LEDs.

I was able to install the rear turn signals, license plate LEDs, and reverse LEDs.

Does the front bumper have to be removed to install the switchback V3 Triton LEDs turn signal and the Osram CBI 5K bulbs. Or is there an easier way of installing them

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Gabe

Here is the video I use to change out my head light bulbs. The only thing I do differently is I use the jack out of the trunk and jack the car up a little bit. I'm not sure about the turn signals though.

I have a 2011 sedan and I was able to install the front turn indicator bulbs by going through the engine bay, although the air filter boxes have to be removed first.

But to change the headlight bulbs, you'll have to go through the wheel well.

Sorry, but not sure how to change the foglight bulbs.

Honestly, just make your life 100x easier and just jack up the car and take the wheel off.

Yes, it adds an extra 15 minutes per side but you gain SO MUCH working room and you will save so much skin on your knuckles and you wont scream all these bad words.

So in conclusion.....Jack up the driver side, remove wheel, remove all the plastic rivets in the wheel well, then loosen the 4 bolts on bottom of the bumper and BOOM, the entire fender lining comes out for extremely easy installation of all the bulbs, including fog.

Just set aside 2 hours of your time to knock this all out.

No....as removing a front bumper does NOT give you access to the back of the headlight.

Now if you wanna remove the bumper AND the headlights....be my guest lol

The only thing I wasnt able to figure out is where to connect the DIM white wire coming from the V3 Triton.

I know they are bright as hell, nothing compares to them, especially the new ones upgraded ones with more LEDs.. that I can tell you without a doubt... but I thought I'd ask people who have them if there were any issues installing them or any advice on the install or placement of the resistors.

Hey guys, I recently replaced my halogen bulbs with LED bulbs. I also swapped the original lenses with STI clear lenses. work done by oneighty.

this is my current V3 setup:

5K switchback LEDs - front turn signals
Red Leds - rear turn signals
5K LEDs- license plate, city lights, reverse lights
5K LED fog lights

I love the new setup.
