To 5.5 owners with 5.0 headlights...

How hard is it to take out the HIDs and put in the 00/01/AE headlights? Do you simply pop out the HIDs and screw in the old ones? Is there any other wiring or hardware to purchase? All this talk about guys' HIDs getting stolen is making me paranoid. Thanks in advance for any help.

i believe you also need a different harness

note: we have seperate lowbeams from highbeams while the 00/01/AE all have a high/low in one
