I like how it fills in the rest of the light. Looks very bright.

The turn signal bulbs are now dual function LEDs. When I initiate my signal they blink amber, then return to white once the signal is turned off. They are on (white) whenever my parking lights are on, but will still blink amber even when parking lights are off.

I'll let you be the judge on the difficulty from this, but for me it wasn't bad at all. All the info you need should be in my DIY

I see that you used a 48 led bulb, why didnt you use a 60 one? I think it would fit into the housing wouldnt it? There is a lot of clearance in the headlight housing

I'm a big supporter of V-LED quality and they only have a 48 count one. Plus I had a 20% off code so I knew I wanted to get everything from them. I'm sure a 60 count would fit just fine. Just make sure the extra $$ is worth only have 6 extra LEDs of both colors.
