Nah, the hardest bit was getting the harness out of the BCM. I recommend a pair needle nose pliers.

The most confusing part of the diy (photos) is the BCM work and the fear it brings to anyone not wanting to get into the car's wiring. All of that fear goes away when you look at the harness that comes with the lighted kick plates and then it all makes sense.
It is basically an extension of what you un plug. In other words like unscrewing a pipe and lengthening it by screwing in a nipple and re attaching what you originally un screwed except its a plug. The second problem that most people have is un plugging the BCM initially. If you just study the harness that comes with the lighted kick plates you will know exactly how and where to press on the one you need to remove to un lock it and get it out. It's a freaky little lock but if you look the one over that comes with the new plates I think it will make getting the original out much easier. Other than that is all about cleanly running wire and getting the panels on and off without breaking anything. Awesome DIY and once you open up your new plates and look at the harness, its a no brainer. |

I'll be doing mine within a couple of weeks. Also I'll be doing the LED swap to white LEDs and adding some matching footwell lights. This will match my dome LEDs.
