ok so from what i understand i will UNTWIST THE BULB (JUST THE BULB NOT THE THING THE BULB GOES INTO) then SHOVE that GOLD END THING COMING OUT OF THE LED INTO WHERE THE BLUB WENT
don't plug in the end lights - that will cause your fuse to blow!!! (trust me i tried it several times - WHY - i don't know - just don't)

be-careful when you SHOVE... it should slide in and twist. I SHOVED mine and broke the Porsche socket.....

sounds like you got it!!!

Dude i think i got it- still gotta plug in the relay before i turn the car on- so the END LIGHTS i just leave them as they are and just not plug in, or do i cover that led thing with something? cuz the led thing will be exposed so will the part from the porsch harness that the little signal bulb plugged into...not sure what to do!

Ok i think i got it- all is in, put in the relay and no errors, i dont have anyone to help me test all lights out right now but i think its all good

Only issue is the lights are NOT in there SNUG, maybe i didn't put them in correct, but i tried many times, they dont seem as FLUSH as the OEMS also when i push down on them there is some Play in them, hope when i hit potholes and stuff there is no vibration...is this normal with these aftermarkets?

THANKS SO MUCH MAN FOR HELPING THROUGH THIS! tried to give you more rep points but couldn't..

make sure you push the front of the light assembly in first -- then ease the back in.. I had a bit of up and down play as well. Tighten up the nut pretty firmly and it will go away (mostly) - but don't over tighten -- its just plastic you are tightening up against.

if you don't have the fast blink or brake light warning - you should be good. the other thing to check is your cruise control - if that works you are golden!! enjoy! they look awesome - specially on our silver cars!

By the front you mean the outer edge where it gets thin right, where that hook looking thing goes in right?
