Very easy...

you just need to go and take out the fender liner in front of the wheel and the bulb is located under a nice big round cover... You will have to twist it off to get at the bulb plug.

+1 Very easy, you wont need help.

1. Jack car up
2. Remove Front wheel(s)
3. Remove inner fender plastic lining with a small flathead screwdriver and maybe a phillips on the top edge
4. Remove protective white/tan cap covering bulb
5. Push in and twist out bulb and swap. **Remember not to make contact with the bulb or it will prematurely burn out.

Repeat steps 1-4 in reverse order.

OMG 10K!!! That has to look insane at night-at the expense of some light lost. Cant wait to see it at the next meet. Is it purple in color? I had 7K before my current 6K and 7K was purple, 6K is blue. Usually higher you go more purple it gets.

light output is ok still, it is of course not as bright as stock, but still bright and driving at night is no problem.

these particular 10k are a deep blue white in color, they do have 12k lights that are purple though.

Sounds good man. Even 10K is way better than Halogn lights.
