Any DIY for HID lights?
I don't have time to make it down to HMS but I need to swap out a bulb. I plan on having them send it up, but I need a DIY cause I have NO idea what I'm doing. Thanks

Can you PM me prices for bulbs? Is there a price difference between colors? Thanks

If it's factory xenon/bixenon lamps, it's quite simple (although most people try to make it sound difficult).
Twist off the cover (there's a long thin piece on it to twist) of the assembly.
Look into the hole; you'll see the HELLA box (black+yellow). It will say <- OPEN CLOSE ->. Twist to open, pull it backwards off the D2S bulb. Disconnect the wires from it. Look at the clips holding the bulb in; push them together, up, and slide them out. Bulb will pop out. Installation is the reverse of removal.
