Install is easy.... If u have small hand and/or a small power screw driver..... You can feel the "German quality" when u unscrew these tiny screws under the turnk handle...So freaking tight. lol Otherwise, just replace the old bulb with the newone. Whoo hoo~ Your bling factor goes one setp up lol

These damn bulbs dont work. they blink over and over and the car is giving error messages. I ordered two sets so that I can have spares, but they all do the same thing.

Guess I will send them back for a refund.

Did they ship you the C5W blue colored bulbs? What a joke these bulbs are. And yes they are yellow as HELL! CSUFL do you have the clear or blue Lic plate bulbs from Hoen? Is there a certain part number to use when ordering other than just C5W. Thanks
