NEED HELP! Chaning HID bulbs with new 8500K bulbs.
Ok, UPS is comming tommorow with my new HID bulbs (8500K), and i plan on putting them in tommorow but ive never change my HID bulbs before and i don't know how to get to the stock bulbs or how to remove them. If someone knows of a DIY or can give me some simple instructions on how to remove the stock bulbs and plug in the new bulbs id appreciate it. Thanks.

Its simple...all you need to do is just open your hood and go right inback of the headlight unit. after that you need to locate the bulb and turn it counterclock so the headlight is loose...after taking it the bulb out be VERY CAREFUL to not touch the new bulbs by the glass and just replace them.

Thanks alot man. So im guessing i don't need a screw driver to unscrew anything, the bulbs just unlock and come out pretty easily then. If anyone else has any suggestions please let me know. I don't want to screw anything up. I'm also gona wear some latex gloves while doing this so i don't get any oils on the bulbs or anything. ONE LAST QUESTION, Once i insert the new bulbs, do i need to angle the bulbs ???

theres a torx security bit behind the headlight thats gonna prevent you from turning it.. i opened mine with a knife, shouldn't be a problem..and no you dont need to angle them, they will stay on the same settings as before

Ok well, if i don't really like them on mine but you end up liking it, then i can resell them to you for a little cheaper cuz im only gona turn them on maybe twice just to see what they look like and if i don't like them im taking them out and resellin them to you for a little cheaper if you want. THATS IF THOUGH ok. I'm gona swap them now, tonight.
