HID installation, HELPPP :)

I did a search on this and found that people have been removing their front bumpers to get into the head light housing? I am about to buy a HID replacement, still deciding between the Phillips vs PIAA. Anyway, am I going to actually have to remove the bumper to just install these lights? I know for sure that I won't be able to do this, so I will have to go to a shop? Anyone who has swapped out their HID's as a "DIY" Please help!!!

I replaced my HID's to get to the light just go behind the wheels and remove the lining and you can get right to them.

I took my wheel off to get to mine too. Just popped off a few of the clips and there it was. Honestly took like 15 minutes total. Don't be too worried about it. Just go for it.

No need to take off the wheel, the old traditional way is just turn your wheel all to one side and just pop everything open. Or you can do everything thru the hood, might hurt your hands though but its easier
