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

hm... its pretty easy.. take off bumper and take off headlight. Unscrew the black cap and twist the metal round thing and u'll see it!

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.
