I did mine without much trouble.
You will need a Torex set.
Dont drop any nuts. That would be the only "ugly" thing.
Careful moving the LED array to the new units.
The standard bulbs are in a different pattern. But they are color coded
and it will make sense when you do it.
Take your time.
When its done they really do look great.
They are a little brighter than the originals.
More reflective material used in the new units.
