Get a pair of pliers. There are two tabs on each size of the nozzle. Reach in with your hand or fingers to feel where the tabs are. Then use the pliers to pinch the tabs in and the nozzle should pop right out.

The way to install them is you get a pair of pliars and crush them until they turn to dust. Then you thank me for giving you the idea that those things were a really bad idea.

Either way Im going to install them. I want to see how it would look. I was just going to wire them to my turn signals. Question, What padding are they talking about to put underneath the led washer? What did you guys use??

If I dont like them Ill take them off and reinstall the old ones. I gotta say I atleast tried them.

Well, Im going to install them or atleast attempt to. Ive had them too long to not get any use so it may not be a good mod or even a permanent one but see it as educational. If it doesnt look good then Ive learned from my mistakes

Mine came with several different black washers to put under the nozzles. If yours didn't come with the washers,

And I wired mine independantly to each turn signal along with a switch so I could turn them on and off.

Mine came with the washers too just wanted to check to see if there was any extra that was needed. The switch is a good Idea Ill do that too. Thanks guys!

hehe, what possibly could be gained in the name of education in this process? I think you'd just get a lesson in aesthetics as everyone else is echoing.

Sell them on ebay for 150% with the desc "D00D! These will cut down on aerodynamic drag and give you 100HP!!!"

just be safe. Cops may pull you over for that. Especially if it's blue or red because that color is reserved for law enforcement.

Agreed cops who have nothing better to do in hickvill. Down here in the city no cop will touch you. I went through bunch of inspection points and not a word.
