whats the best method to installing them? taking the bumper off or attempting to go through the wheel well? where did you guys mount them?

the driver side is pretty easy by taking off the resonator box or you don't even have that and don't even need to bother taking off headlight. but passenger side is harder. you may have to take the headlight off and be careful of the metal stuff underneath. you can approach by plug in and hold the wire to make it fit into the place then approaching from the headlight site to screw it in. passenger side fog light is really a pain however not that hard. i changed it two weeks ago and it took about 15-20 mins of approaching. once you are there then it's easy.

not sure about hid, but mounting the lights into the hole may be like this.

I found that taking off the bottom air dam helped out quite a bit.

i know that the halogen number is 898, and the HID number H11 for our fogs.

I guess it actually helps with your gas mileage. I did put it back on because it looks kinda weird being able to see through your bumper to the ground.

881, 880, 899, 898 are all the same for SRTs and Neons as well.
