Installing LED markers. Easiest way?

[xcalibur]

Got me some LED markers for the angel eyes. What's the easiest way to install the drivers side one?

Option 1: Through wheel well.
Option 2: Remove air filter housing.

Any other options?

Wheel well according to the 'Owners Handbook'.

So I have to remove the wheel and the liner?

There is a access hole in the liner with two gromit type screws which you screw ou using a flat screw driver. Its accessible by just turning the wheels. You can take the wheels of if you want to. I imagine that it would make it a bit easier to manouver. :thumbsup:

I'm talking about the angel-eye bulb. I've got halogen headlights and got some LED bulbs to replace the "yellow" bulbs.
Access to the passenger side is easy, but with the aircon valve and airfilter housing being in the way on the driver side, I was wondering what the easiest way was to get to the bulb.

I inspected my wheel wells last night and found the "hatches". I'll attempt to replace them tonight and post some pics.

Got them from e-bay. Plugged in the passenger side for testing and no error messages showed up. All looks fine. The seller has an stand-alone store also.

I'll post all the details and writeup (with pics) once done.
