changing HID bulbs

I took my headlights out when I replaced the bulbs. Make sure you unplug the ballasts before even trying to swap the bulbs. It might be possible to replace the bulbs without removing the headlights, but I'm not sure how much space is back there.

yea thats what I was thinkin...it seems as though there's not a sufficient amount of space to get my hand in there and work w/ the silver clip and shit. I'll most likely take off the bumper and shit because somethings loose up in front anyway. When I install the bulbs...which will probably be this coming weekend, I'm going to do a write-up with pictures and such. I'm also gonna show how to adjust the headlights because the old tutorial seems to have lost the pictures.

Most likely, you're gonna have to take your bumper off to take the headlight housing out. That's the only way I've seen it done (ie when I changed to clear corners). Sorry -- but seems like it'll take you about 1/2 hr to change bulbs!

you dont have to take the bumper off, just remove the black plastic lining under the hood by the headlights and this will give you some more room to work with(if I remeber correctly) the driver side I moved the windshield container and some other parts to get more room to work with. I will be tight, just be VERY PATIENCE or you may mess up the bulbs. But you definelty dont have to remove the bumper to change the bulbs
