Open your hood. Look at the back of the headlights. Unhook the wiring harness on each one. There's a big plastic ring that you just have to unscrew on each one. Take plastic ring and little metal spring clip off. Pull out bulb. Replace. Don't touch the glass bulb AT ALL on the one you're replacing. If you do, clean it off carefully with rubbing alcohol...

What are the chances you got some ricey Ebay bulbs that are overwattage (notice how they never mention anything about possible damage to your wiring?) and will burn your wiring in 1 month?
