Each front fender has four bolts which hold them to the under-bracing. You need to take the front wheels off to get to them. Once the wheels are off, no big deal.

The front light electrical connections will be apparent once you have the bolts removed. The lights themselves clip onto the fenders. Lightly (pun) push up and rearward and they snap out.

Rear fender... no problems other than working in the limited space between the underside of the fender and the tire. Again, once loose, the electrical connection for the light is apparent.

Total time: 30 minutes to one hour (if you're a slacker like me) for removal, less time for install because you've been there / done that. :D

Changed my fronts when they were painted. Agree with ATA, remove the wheel. The phantom black kit instructions seem to say you can do it without removing wheels. You can (I did it) but its much harder.
