I can make a diy guide but basically you remove the clearence strips, cut the back of them and insert the CCFL tube and secure it with a dab of silione.

The bulbs are not even on, that is just the demon eye rings.

Questions about light bulbs

I bought 2 H4 PIAA 8000K light bulbs for my fog lights and the high beam lights. and 8000K HID D2R bulbs for the low beam. Can I install that myself? Or I will still need to OVEN it?

One more thing is that~!! There is another light bulb there~!!! a small light at the side! What is the type of the bulb? please let me know~!

Thanks you so much

Jim

To replace the D2R and Fog bulbs you should be able to access them from under the hood. No need to remove the headlight.

UNDER THE HOOD? TO REPLACE THE BULBS? dude, arent you the one with the full headlight install posts and pics? correct me if im wrong but the only way to get to the bulbs without removing headlamp is to go through the fender panel behind the headlamp, not through the engine bay/hood. RX

I hope you didnt see my car... its on a Dyno in Atlanta right now getting the e-manage tuned and I am in Vagas at a conference

Once I do get it back keep an eye out, I am in Metairie. Do you go to any local meets or anything? The New Orleans import scene has been even weaker (as if that was possible) since Katrina.

just wondering where are the vent holes? I want to make sure i don't seal it up or anything....
