Very easy to do. Lift the hood and take off the 2 back torx screws (I think #15) that hold the top cover. I would then manually raise the lights and remove the screws holding the black plastic housing (the plastic housing has like a clip on the top so it needss to slide down and then up to get it out - easy once you see it)
You then can get to the remaining torx screws holding the top cover. After that you just need to reach in and twist the light out of the socket. Once out yyou will then see the lip that needs to be raised to get the light away from the wiring. Just match your light to the one you pulled for high and low beams ( I think the high beams are the inside lamp, but it is easy to tell once you have the old light out).
If you have time I would also replace your fog lights with 885s since you have everything off already. You just have to reach further down and get to the fog light. It is a tight fit though so small arms would be beneficial.
When done just replace the top with the 2 outside torx and then slidde the black plastic housing back on and put those screws back. Then lower the light again and put in the remaining 2 torx that are on the back.
Easy to do should take about 1/2 hour and the Silver Starts are so much whiter than those yellow stock lights...

Oh and dont forget to realign your fog lights if you have not done so already. They are too low from the factory. Same Torx screw used just find the hole by the fog light and give it a turn or 2 (I think to the right) to raise them. You will like that.
BTW - the hole for the fog is small so you would need a real torx 15 not one of those ones that attach to your screw driver probabaly will not fit.
