Don't be scared......follow the DIY "how to" we have in the DIY forum and if anything leave it in a bit longer versus taking it out and trying to pull apart then putting it back in............i believe the DIY states 7 or 8 minutes and if not put it back in for another 7 or 8 minutes........

I went straight for 15-18 minutes each side and the housing pulled apart first try and the plastic was warm/but no where near "damaging" like you guys are fearing..

if not, find someone in your local area on the forum thats done it before and have a DIY headlight mod day...

give it a shot..

he speaks the truth, ive now done 4 different sets of headlights and each a different car, all the same outcome, pretty easy and looks great , it really is pretty simple

I say try it yourself...just take your time. From the horror stories I have heard, having someone do it can be disasterous too. The guy I sent mine to was no good. I had to send one of them back twice and he had it for a couple weeks the third time he had my driver's side light.
