Philips is probably one of the most expensive HIDs you can buy, but for good reason. They are great quality, and the color is nice. Although many companies advertise a certain temp (6000k), the color still vary. Philips seems to have a little more color than most. Its noticeably more purplish-blue than other 6000k bulbs, from what I can remember. I've heard that McCulloch (sp) bulbs have a very close color to Philips, and is one of the better companies as well. Theres also Hella... they're good, but I dont remember how they are. If you want to do some studying on HIDs, check out www.hidplanet.com They have a great informative forum you can read through too

get someone with experience to help you out. It's hard to know what you're doing by just lookin at pics.. I was able to do it tho but it was hard for me. Maybe I just suck

Yeah, its pretty simple and straight forward. Just get behind the headlight, twist off the cover to the HID low beam. It'll expose the backside of the plug. "Lefty loosey, righty tighty" and twist that plug and pull it straight out to expose the HID bulb under that. Pull the plug out and set it asside. it'll still be wired to the inside housing by a cord with a metalic protector skin, pull it out as far as possible to give yourself more room to work. The bulb will be held into place by two little prongs. Just squeeze (I think) them and unlock them. Make sure you open up the prongs as much as possible before you attemt to pull out the bulb. As you pull out the bulb, be sure not to scratch the bulb/glass or to touch it with your fingers. And to swap the new one should be easy from there out.

It was really easy for me since I had to remove my entire headlight housing when I installed my foglight HID kit It might be a little tight working behind the housing, but just be patient. Enjoy, and good luck!

Also, its a good thing you read the DIY thread on how to change the bulb. I got too over confident and just dove into it... thinking I would figure it out on my own. I over thought the process and thought it was more complicated than it really was. I started unscrewing the entire insides of the housing before I realised it was just a simple twist off plug!! haha! Well... if I ever need to take the headlight apart, I pretty much know how to do it now! lol
