How difficult is it to install these? Do you have pictures of them on the car?

The ONLY difficult thing about installing paddles is removing the air bag on the wheel. If God is smiling on you, that could take 1-3 minutes. If not, it can be an epically frustrating experience. There are videos online of how to do it

Once the bag is off it’s a very simple swap

Airbag was fairly simple for me but I’ve done it on other cars before. I had a god awful time with the blue connectors that the paddle shifters plug into. It was so difficult for me to get it off I snapped it on one side but I used a plastic welding kit to melt the plastic back together firmly. Ironically that was the 2nd time I removed it while the 1st I don’t recall any problems

regarding the blue connectors I stumbled across this post that shows how to address these. Once I read this and tried it, it was a breeze!
