I i was worried because of the camera next to the reflectors.

The cameras are not an issue - when you loosen the inside cover in front of the wheel, you will be able to squeeze your hand in to 'catch' the old one, and insert the new one - if you were in Chicago, I would do it for you in about 10 minutes

Painted side reflectors is really easy. I always seem to screw up these kinds of mods, but even I managed to do it right.

Congrats! It's really easy. Loosen the cover in the wheel well (4 screws if I remember correctly). Reach right in around the camera. On the outside, push the reflector back, while your other hand on the inside is pulling the corner of the back of the reflector. It'll peel right off. It's held in by some 3m foam tape. 10 minute job max. Post some pics once done
