I was able to install the lights without removing the bumper. However, it was a HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!Has anyone been able to do this install without removing the bumper? Seems like removing the bumper is a necessary step. There just is not enough clearance to try to remove that bolt let alone put a new one in.
The challenge was accessing the tiny screw behind the reflector, you will need an extension for your ratchet and universal joint on your socket. While I could eventually get the factory screws off I was UNABLE to screw the Oracle replacement screws into the back of the new lamps. I just said FUCK IT since they snapped in firmly. I think I will pop then out and shoot a dab or two of Gorilla Glue in there just for peace of mind.
FYI.. Oracle's overly fast video is pathetic and is a rush job, their instructions are pretty pathetic too.
For your own sanity remove the bumper.
While the lights seem quality and hands down an improvement over factory, the short wires, chinsy connectors, lousy instructions and even lousier video left such a sour taste in my mouth I will probably never purchase another Oracle product.
