Default HId question

I got some new bulbs for my car and I was wondering what I have to do to access the bulbs? How hard is it?

I just popped my hood for a sec to take a look and it seems it may be more difficult than i thought.

Any input would be great.


thanks, JesseP

Through the wheel well or take off your bumper.

And I hope to God they are not over 4300K.

Yes they are over 4300 they are 8000k, and It is a myth that they burn out your ballast. If that is what you were going to say.

No, not that they burn out the ballast. It's that you can't see jack sh.it with anything over 6k and 6k is cutting it close.

i don't know where you get the idea that you can't see anything with anything over 6k.

Buddy of mine has HID's that's just plain purple and it beams out just like HID but just little less intense than something like 5k.

Lumens drop drastically as you go up in the Kelvin scale. The less Lumens, the less you will see on the road.
