Help Needed - HID Install
Hey! Hoping I can find one of you in the greater Seattle/Eastside area with experience replacing an HID bulb and ballast, which includes removing the front end. My passenger side headlight is out.
I have the parts, but I'm too chicken to do it alone. I can turn wrenches, I just need some guidance and moral support while I do it. I read the DIY, but still too

Hi! I have a bulb and ballast. I actually have 2 bulbs, from someone on the forum who swapped his out for another color. Should I get another ballast and swap out everything while the front is off? I saw your DIY... I'm just nervous to do it by myself.

Cutting the housing to fish the wire thru is no big deal, but you will need a dremmel or body saw. Removing the front bumper and headlight is no biggie. But yeah, you may want some moral support

Thank you SO much Easy! We ended up only having to replace the bulb, and since I bought a set from another forum member, we changed both sides. Woohoo! I haz lights again!
And thanks 9krpmrx8 for your help too!

I don't think so. My 8 has about 109K on it and this is the first HID bulb to wear out. I keep my headlights and fog lights on all the time. Fogs go out every couple of years or so.
