Alright I finally got my tyc's in the mail last night, but i could not get the freakin stock ones off my box! :evil: I know i need to reach behind with a wrench or socket wrench and unscrew the two nuts back there, but MAN it's a hard reach...anybody have any luck with this? Also, i think i tried every size EXCEPT for the right one, lol..what size wrench or socket should i use, any suggestiosn on technique that i should be aware of that helped any of you? thanks :)

Unless you bought em off e-bay, there should be directions in the box. Im pretty sure the bolt size is 10mm. Its a tight fit to get them off, just be patient.

no directions, just a receipt
blah
but thanks

its almost 3 here, so im not going to go searching for the instructions now, but i'll try to scan em for you tomorrow. They will be VERY helpful.

I uploaded some install photos a while back:

It is indeed a 10mm nut. It shouldn't be on there too tightly but if someone in Takaoka got too enthusiastic with it, try a socket wrench with universal joint and 3" extension. Loosen it, then carefully remove the nut by hand or with a magnetic nut driver. Believe me, you don't want to drop it ...

THATS what i freakin need and i could do the job in 20 minutes i'm sure
could not find all my step dads REAL tools and he wasn't there when i was trying to install it
i'll have to call him up this afternoon and ask if he has em, thanks again EVERYBODY, and thanks again other guy ;-)

I used a Craftsman 10 mm long socket, and universal joint. Total time was prolly 15 minutes from the time I took the tools out of the box to checking to make sure the installed lights worked.

PROBLEM SOLVED
THEY'RE.........INSTALLED BABY!!
thanks all for ur help, the 10 mm socket did it :)
