Yeah I just put in my tower II's and they fit relatively easy.. I didn't have a problem at all and I have big hands.. They look good but aren't as bright as I thought they would be..

Never did say thanks for the write-up, so thanks! Did mine a few weeks ago, and absolutely LOVE the extra light! I get a lot of compliments about them too.

Get a butterknife and pry each side, they are held in big steel clips so you have to use some force but you won't break them. The manual also illustrates how to change the bulbs.
Yeah, the rear dome lights you just had to really pull on them.
As long as you take off the two screws by the sun glasses spot it's all just clips. Use a butter knife and a screw driver, it's easier when you have more then one tool and you go along the edge going for the clips.
You do need to use a lot of force, I was afraid I was going to break it with the amount of force I was using.

How the hell do you get the license plate light covers off?
I got quite a few off Ebay, most of my car is done with it and i have only had a issue with 1 that came damaged on shipping, other then that i've been using them for a year without a issue.

thanks (bowdown)
Very Carefully, yet forcefully lol. I used a Flat Head screwdriver to get at it. Gently pulled out, and it gave... You kinda have to work side to side to get around the clip/notch that is holding it on.
I think the hardest part was getting the freaking bulb out. (smash)
