How hard is it to replace the factory headlight bulbs,fog light bulbs, front turn signal bulbs? I've been looking at HID Xenon Bulbs on their site. Anyone have them?

Done the headlights and fogs... much whiter lite. Not sure if its brighter, just whiter if that makes any sense. I'd do it again for the whiter lite...........

It's not too hard to do the fog lamp and headlight bulbs if u have small hands. If u do a search, you'll find instructions for the headlamp bulbs. If I remember correctly, u raise up each headlamp w/ the manual turn screw under the hood, then take off the black plastic housing around it. No need to remove the top painted cover. You can then reach in and exchange each bulb, just don't touch the bulb itself though. Look at the orientation of the bulb to the housing to remember how to put in the replacement.
Fog lamps can be accessed by again raising up each light manually and reaching down adjacent to the inside portion of the headlight toward the fog lamp wire harness attached to the fog bulb. Just twist counter clockwise and the bulb is removed w/ harness attached from the housing. Again, don't touch the bulbs. I rec using a flashlight to see down there before sticking your hand in to get an idea of what I'm talking about. It's a tight squeeze for your hand/arm though.
I don't know how to do the side lights though.
Enjoy and hope this helps!

Not hard at all like metioned above.
Just rememver to keep the bulbs in the same color range or it will look stupid. IE 5000k 6000k 6500k etc
I changed all mine to 6800k bulbs
