Which projector headlight do you have? It would either be a H1 or H4 (?) bulb, depending on which type of headlights

yep. it's easy tho. 2 bolts, 10mm sockets. might wanna take the pop rivets off too. it'd make it easier. when you replaced the bulbs, you'll see a black rubber cap thing over top of it. just pull it back. there will be 2 wires going into it, it just slides along those wires. once that is off, you will see a metal clip thing holding the light down, unclip and pull the light out!

yea it easy to do

p.s. if you doing it for the 1st time just a tip when you got all the bolts off you have to man handle the light out but be careful not to starch your car!

Dont touch the bulb with ur fingers

here a pic of the black rubber and much more from when I took my projectors off to align them. ^ . ^: This is what you will See when you take the projectors out.



That round black rubber thing above is what you need to pull back. (Ignore the red circles unless you going align your projectors)
