Has anyone installed the Anzo Switchbacks on their zr2? The install video by Anzo says nothing about removing the bumper but it appears as that is the only way to get the grill off. Could use a breakdown on the install on a zr2 and any advice. Don't want to take the bumper off if I don't have too. Thanks Rick

Will do!

I haven't done this, nor removed the headlights, but I have had grill and bumper off my ZR2. From what I saw, I'm pretty sure you're going to have to take the grill/bumper assembly off.

I removed my whole front facia and bumper pieces to remove my headlights and do an HID retrofit. PIA the first time, but in actuality not that terrible.

Looks great dude. Is there any additional harnesses or wiring you need for the switchbacks? I'm looking to get the same ones as you.

For the built-in switchbacks, no. If you want LED turn signal switchbacks, that will require load resistors. The turn signals are halogen in the Anzos.

So the white LED beams are the DRL in these and not the low beam? When you say LED turn signals do you mean separate bulbs or are you talking about that illuminated LED beam is the turn signal?

No. The DRL in the Anzo is the low beam halogen H7, the high beam a halogen 9005, the turn signal is a halogen 7443, and the side marker a halogen 921. The LED switchback strip is separate from these.

The LED strip is tied only to turn signals, not DRLs. The switchback function only works when the low beams are on, but the turn signal function always activates with the halogen turn signals, there's just no white LEDs.

My comment above was if you wanted to also run turn signal switchbacks like @Diode Dynamics 7443 LED switchbacks and a XP50 921, you'll need resistors. Otherwise, the ANZOs are plug and play.

The bulbs that come with it are not bad at all, I ran the low beams for a few months before getting a deal on HIDs.
