I was able to find a video on it but the quality was horrible left a bit of guess work If anyone else needs advice on doing this I'll be glad to help. Took about 30 mins to do.

Really not trying to HiJack the thread here but, I've seen a pair on ebay brand new like you just described. Used factory same price for one. Was under the impression that they were cheap low quality imports. Are you happy with them? Quality, fitment etc...?
