Default Changing D2S bulbs

Need to swap out my OEM HIDs.
Did a search and couldn't find any detailed instructions on how to replace the bulbs.
Anyone knows of a DIY or a write up for this job?
Thanks in advance.

The easiest way that I've seen is by taking the wheel off, then remove the front wheel well (let it hang or take it off completely).

The other way that I know of involves taking the front bumper off.

I did mine ......... you will need to get a T20 Tamper proof torx bit to remove the cover off the back of the housing.



thats how i did mine and make sure you disconnect the battery befor you start, a shock from a HID ballast will F*** up your day

10000k's look very nice and are still very brite

Thanks for the help.
The rest was easy after taking off the front wheels.
The 6yrs old bulbs are replaced with 5000K Xenon HIDs.
Still very bright compare to the stock 4300K with a blue tint.
Awsome!

Yeah, 6000K is too blue for me too. My best bud had it in his integra and you can definantly see the blue. For the 5000K, you can't see the blue tint staring directly at the projector. But it shows while sitting in the car.
Bought mine locally in Houston from a good source for $60.
