Seriously ? You only need to see one end. I have to have the rears moded for a customs brake install. This is the problem with forums today you ask questions and you get troll responses. I would pull the wheels off but it's not going to matter since the lines are totally different.

At least on my 2008, there is no difference between the front and rear brake lines except for the length. All of the connections are the same. Hence, the reason you need to pull the wheels off so you can check the length. But iirc, the longer lines go on the rear - been a while since I swapped mine though.
