You can put them anywhere. Doesn't have to be in the front. Mine are behind the trunk liner in the rear.
Honestly though, if you're going to go to the trouble of putting in resistors, you'd be better off doing the rears too. If you decide you want to do it later, you'll have to swap out the resistors too.

Yes, they are.
Good question. When I dropped mine in, I used a pick to fish them out. It did take forever. With an OEM glass bulb, you've got nothing to grab on to so that might make it considerably harder. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably try to find a chopstick and some really thick consistency model glue and put a very small dab on the end of it. Stick it into the headlight and rest it on the bulb. Let it dry for a bit and see if you can get it closer to the hole. The objective is just to get it to the hole so that you can get your fingers or a pair of pliers onto it and pull it out. Just a suggestion, but try at your own risk.
The 48 LED one I used actually was larger than the 60 LED. Either way, you should modify the housing as I described above to avoid this problem.
Also, if your switchback bulb does not seat very tightly in the socket, I'd recommend a small dab of model glue to hold it in place too. Don't put it down in the socket. You'll want to be able to scrape it away easily if you ever need to change the bulbs again.
Question: what is the easiest way to get the light bulbs out of the housing =( I tried using a coat hanger. Fail. and I dont want to take the bumper off but I hear there is a way to take out the headlights by unbolting a few things inside the engine near the grill. Is this true ? Great help is appreciated xT My hands and arms are red as hell!

the 48 smd led works from ijdmtoy.com ill post some pics up soon. I also got the bulbs and leds that got stuck in my headlight housing out finally. All I needed was a screwdriver/magnet and i was good.
All I need to do now is install resistors. is there a diy

which wire to connect front resistors to
I have a question about replacing my front turn signals with LEDs on a 2011 Sedan. The Turn signal Socket has three wires a white w/black, a green w/black and a green w/ white. Which wires do i connect the resistors to? Any help would be appreciated.
