eskimo, how are you planning on smoking them. I mean, what are you planning on using. I would really like to know.

Nope.....you just have to experience..Im assuming u have a COUPE///...just dig under the carpet on the trunk behind thelight and then remove the screws there...you'll see 'em just need socket tools!!
-hope this helps

Its very very easy.
If you have a coupe, there are four small bolts under the carpet. Take those off, unplug your light sockets and you're set....
