HID Replacement Instructions



OK, bear with me...

My driver's side HID bulb recently burned out (02 TL-S) and I need instructions on how to replace it. I have already bought the bulb (although I should have had it tested b4 to make sure it was the bulb, oh well), but I'm having some trouble getting to the headlight assembly.

Basically I just need to know exactly how to go about replacing it myself (Dealer wants $95 for replacement- bs). I understand it's high voltage and I really don't want to kill myself replacing the thing. I know it's not a major fix, but I want to do things right.

Someone please give me some insight as to what parts I need to take off and how to handle the bulb to get my car's black eye taken care of!

Thanks!

I'll do it for $20 lol It is really easy, just get the torx t-20 security bit and it is even easier. Dont have the headlights on when changing and u r safe or the car running i guess to be extra sure.
