what car do you have?

if you hve 3G TL, you have to take off the bumper, take off that round lid thingy and just swap out the bulbs. That's it.

Most d2r and d2s bulbs are just held in by a clip, very simple removal and replacement

^^On some cars, especially the 3G TL it's a b*tch to get to the bulb. You have to take the bumper off.

On the 2G, it couldn't be easier, 5 minutes is all it took me.....

ur gonna need a torque bit or a small flat head screw driver to take off the screw that locks the cover once u have that off u just turn the cover and it comes off then its just a small clip once u remove the connector also by turning it the its just a small clip holding the bulb like n0rmal said it couldn't be easier, 5 minutes is all it took me.....
it may sound complicated but its very simple

If your goal is to put the most useable light on the road, select 4300K D2R bulbs. If you want to trade performance for color, select a higher Kelvin rating. Be aware that some forum members have regretted the installation of 6000K bulbs and higher.

Personally, I'm sticking with 4300K bulbs.
