Default Getting Headlights Installed

What kind of place would replace my headlights for me?
I picked up a pair of silverstars for my base 350 to replace my normal headlights, but I can't figure out how to change them or find any guides online to do it.

Where can I take my Z to get it done?

you can do it! trust me it cant be that hard. do a search on headlight removal, i think you might have to remove the front bumper, but its easier than it sounds, or else take it to the dealer.

Just jack up the car, tilt the wheel to give yourself room to work with, pull the fender lining off (2 screws and a few rivets) and you'll have access....

Hey thanks for the help guys, did it today it was easier than I thought. This is the first actual "work" I have done on my own car lol, felt great to accomplish it on my own. While I was down there I started to think that I can maybe change my own brakes out next time

um yeah, don't mess with your brakes if the only other thing you've done to your car is head lights.

Question head light upgrade

I have a base 350Z too. How did the upgrade go? Is this a Zenon kit? How much did it cost?

The upgrade was pretty painless as others mentioned you remove the tires and then the fender liner and you have easy access to the bulbs. It's not Xeons just brighter bulbs. They make the "cool blues" if you are going for that look though.
