Question 3

Is installation difficult?

Reviewers described the parts themselves as easy to install, though one noted the car can be difficult due to a T15 security screw, and another said the entire front bumper must be removed to access bulbs or headlights on a 3rd Gen TL.

How does the price compare to OEM?

Reviews are mixed on durability: one reviewer reported it worked great for 4 months before failing, suspecting moisture due to a poor seal compared to the OEM piece, and another reported it lasted only 5 months.
