Yes, it's a very simple exercise and takes no more than a few seconds really, the old ones clip out and the new ones clip in.

That's all there is to it.

Got mine today! Super cool and I agree a very easy install. I do have one question: I got tinted bulbs with my side vents, am I supposed to replace the standard bulbs with these new ones or can I keep the old clear ones?

Over here in the UK you've got to use the (orange) tinted bulbs if you have the clear lenses - dunno if the same applies in the States.

Velvet Cooper

It was quite a struggle for me and my mini DEALER. My dealer tried and could not succed.(looked as if he was about to break them.) So I went home and tried again but with the help of vaseline and pliers. I had to bend a piece of metal an inch. Then my side vents could click in place. Took 15 mins

MINI, it is a way of life.
