you have to hack up the harness.. not a good idea for a lease. Not that you couldnt *undo* the wiring and put back on the old connectors and harness... And it wouldnt be too hard to hide. but it seems like alot of work. its about 4-5 hours. A whole lot less if you've done it before.

I personally would not do it if you have a lease..especially if you take the car in and they notice the difference...not worth the hassle. Hey, what you leasing for anyway..buy the car dammit!

Dont know if it is even worth spending the 800-1000 on the pair just for the headlights on the leased car.

I mean it CAN be done by sticking Pins into the H4 plug to keep it in tact, but then again you have to know what you are doing electrically to keep it intact and then put your old assembly back.
