A front lip will make it look a lot nicer.

it wasnt hard at all just took time. and it really depend if you can get the harness plugs without the whole harness because they wanted to charge 150 for the cluster plus another 100 for all the under dash harness but i found one place that just cut the plugs off for me so i didnt have to buy the harness to. its just cutting and crimping wires together, i cut my plugs off and wired to the new harness plugs then wired both sets back to my dash harness so probably a 5/10 for hardness.

here is the wiring diagram

i have been buying turbo parts for the last year and i have finally got her bolted together and tuned and i have to say it is amazing to me. i drove 4 hours from guincy california to modesto california just for the tune at barbershop performance and anyone who is close to modesto i would recommend going to these guys they did a 450whp 300tq eg hatch with no problems while i waited for the dyno.chad barber does his job well and took care of me, he even ordered to manual boost controllers for me trying to get one before my tune but they ended up not being able to pick up either because it was on a saturday and the place was closed. Any ways heres a couple pictures and videos, also dont mind the ex badge on my trunk i found a trunk with a spoiler on it that i wanted and i like the ex badge on there so i left it

Do you think you can help me out as far as the wiring goes? Im not a big technical guy, and the brightness of the standard bulb is horrible .

Ya all I did was wire up some speaker connectors to the ends of the 2 wires and slid them onto the prongs that hold the bulb in, LEDs only work in one direction so if they don't light up switch the 2 wires
