i tought it was gonna be hella hard but it was pretty easy, 1st take off your speaker panels, then take off your seat belt screws and mount together with seat belt and bolt it back down, last thing is you gotta cut you speaker panel on the top so the panel could clear because the roll bar is going to be in the way, then wire you third brake light.

Just one man's opinion, but I don't like the look of those at all, takes away from the car a lot, for me.
