Taking the headlight out was pretty simple with the DIY. Another satisfied customer from brabusw209amg.

Where is the DIY on how to take the headlights out? I think I searched and couldn't find anything. I had to loosen the headlights and squeeze my hand in there and use my fingers to install the M-Tecs. PITA!

All in all, looking good there!

used that as a basis, and you just need to remove to the high beams to get to the angel eyes below. its mostly twist and turn.

It really isn't THAT bright. Pictures make them look a ton brighter. When I put mine in I thought they looked perfect then I took a picture and I was like woah, it looks like my angel eyes were going into supernova.

In bright daylight you can kind of see them but they look coolest at night.
