Can someone point me to a good Euro headlight install/DIY? I'm looking at getting some Euro headlights and want to see how difficult the install is.

If you have an 01+ all you need to do to remove the old ones is a few bolts and the wire harness. Then you pop out your old ballast and bulb, put it in the new lamps and re install...it's a no brainer..

You will need:

8mm ratchet, magnetic reach tool (unless you've got thin hands and really long fingers), flathead screwdriver, T-20 torx, and ~20 minutes of free time.
