Are these good instructions for changing my AE bulbs myself? got them from trinity's website....


1. remove the rubber weather stripping

2. undo the 5 torx screw (T30 tool)

3. undo the top 2 torx screws on the headlight (T30 tool)

4. removed the rear headlight cap to expose OEM bulb

5. loosen 2 8mm bolts (do not remove) just loosen

6. pull corner of the bumper towards you and slide the headlight out

7. remove OEM h8 bulb (LCi Cars only) then put in new LED angel eyes

8. remove h7 high beam bulb (pre lci cars only), then remove OEM angel eye which is a dark orangish piece, then install new angel ey

That is if you have large hands.

If you are like me and have relatively small hands you can just remove the remove the headlight cap and then twist the bulb to take it out. Then put in their LED angel eyes.

Good luck!

is it the inner one or the outer one that has to be pulled out for the AE

It is the inner one closest to the grill.

cool thanks

You can skip steps 1 and 2. I find it easier to just remove the headlights.

Just went to my car and looked at my lights....the passenger side seems like it is easier to get to than the driver side.

I agree LOL. I just checked mine out...i would rather take the whole thing out, but i'm not that good with this stuff.

I've swapped mines with HID kit, without even loosening the headlights, my hands are not small but I think with LCI OEM xenon, theH8 bulb is reasonably good reachable. Much easier then how to replace a fog bulb....
