    How is it getting them off ? Just run some fishing line behind them then wipe the glue off?

    I have a base model with no fogs, is there any factory parts that are needed for the install or is everything in the BD kit?

    I have been eyeing those as well, in my budget for sure. Kinda like the look of the round light vs the square.

    Exactly. Super easy. And I got some fresh micro fiber cloths for glue removal.

    Fishing line then a hose down and then I used some rem-oil (WD-40) with a micro fiber and my finger nails to get the rest of the glue/tape off.

    Will do, I was recommended wide from Bailey at BD since it's the most street friendly.

    I also considered this system and liked it. As you said, I also prefer the round vs square. Also saw BD's system could allow me to change the pattern of the lights. I ended up finding a group buy on BD products and ended up with this system since I saved a bit of cash compared to ordering from BD directly

    One con about this is the gap that can been seen from looking at the side though

    Do you think the XL 80 R would fit in fog light location?

    The fishing line part is the easy part. Wiping the glue off is the PITA. I used a heat gun cautiously with a mild and a not so mild gunk remover. You have to kinda roll it off and it's a ... bring a few beers and try not to fehk up your clear coat..

    I wouldn't recommend a heat gun. Use a hair dryer instead. Less likely to mess up your paint.

    I wouldn't use heat on the paint even as a last resort.

    I don't understand what you're trying to say. That using a heat gun on paint is an equally viable option as a hair dryer?
