gotta take the bumper off. and then take the head lights out.

its really the easiest way. you could take the finder liners out, but it doesnt give you as much room as you'd want to be able to put the bulb in.

You should've asked whoever you bought it from to install it, its ussually cheaper from them and it would save you the uncertainty of doing it yourself.

Yeah gotta take bumper off. And then pull the headlights out. Its a pain but this makes it harder for thieves to steal your H.I.D.S

Thanks for the help ppl.. I purchased these online.. I had a wreck a month ago and they replaced the headlights with new ones.. But they didnt replace the bulbs with original bulbs or whatever temp i had when the car was manufactured.. I WANTED THAT LOOK BACK.. So i purchased the bulbs myself.. I wanna learn how to do it myself so i can change them to whatevr temp when the mood strikes me...

If anyone can tell how to properly remove the bumper i think can pretty much go from there bt thanks again evry1

Job Complete fellas

thanks every1.. I found instructions on the net on how to do it..
( http://www.vqpower.com/v2/articles.php?article_id=91 )

I must say it wasnt hard at all and im not a mechanic whatsoever.. Once you figure out the bumper removal the rest is as easy as unscrewing the lights and replacing the bulbs.. The only hard part i must say is putting everything back together. Just pay attention to where the screws go back..

(they seem to only have one specific place that they belong so its not hard to narrow down)
