Question How easy is it to change the HID bulbs?

I got 8000K HID bulbs to swap out my stock HID bulbs.
Anyone do this yet?

Thanks

hardest part is getting the bumper off...

Just an FYI put a 10K bulb will have severely less actual light output than our stock HID's. As you climb the Kelvin ladder the coating decreases the light output...

wicked: ill get you some pic in the morning. if you go to g35frenzy.com i have pic in a couple different threads over there. i absolutely love the color ouput of them.

atx: i know the luminoscity will be lower but it is not that big of a difference. these bulbs are a 100 perecent clear. there is no coatin on them whatsoever. the pics i have actually show the bulb being blue than what they actually look like. i thinkit has to due with the camera i took the pic with. i will work on the pic later for you guys.

i love the color output of these bulbs and would not give them up for anything. the luminousity is less but it is not that big of a deal.
