Wanted to add a WARNING. If you have never done this before, you will probably want to go ahead and remove the tire so you can pull the liner down and actually see what's going on inside the headlight. If you only pull the edge of the liner down, you will be working almost entirely by feel. That's okay if you've done this before but, if it's your first time you can get really hung up trying to figure out how to get the clips on and off or feel when the bulb actually lines up and slips into place. WARNING ... the metal clips that swing up and down to hold the bulb in place fit into slots at the bottom of the mount. You have to squeeze them together and push down toward the bulb to get them in to or out of the slots. CAUTION ... the slots are made of plastic and the top section of the slot WILL BREAK if you put too much pressure on them. And "too much" means not much pressure at all. DO NOT pull back on the metal wires trying to get the clip out of the slot or push down too hard trying to get the wires into the slot. This is a major reason for taking the tire off and getting a really good view of the layout and what you are doing.

My "inexpensive" mechanic wanted to charge me $120 for 1 bulb and $90 for labor. I would have spent over $400 to replace two headlight bulbs. I spent $89 on a pair of Osram Xenarc CBI D2S and it took me 1 hr to change out both. Didn't need to take off the tires either. I'd suggest using nitrile or latex gloves when handling the bulbs because yes it will be a little difficult to squeeze past the panel but wearing the gloves ensures that you won't accidentally touch the bulb and get your hand oil on it, plus less risk of dropping the bulb if you're wearing latex/nitrile gloves

I bought these for my 07 g35x. they are much brighter and have a pure white output(5500k), BUT, they do flicker then turn off. I contacted morimoto and they said the bulbs might require more power than the ballasts are putting out, and recommended changing ballasts. So in the end it's frustrating. I figured i would get a different bulb to replace a dead one. I wasn't looking to upgrade the ballasts too. Be wary when buying these bulbs. I doubt my car is the only exception to these not working well. **I did use this video to replace the bulb though. Last time I changed a bulb I took the wheel off so knowing I didn't need to was nice. Thanks!

If your car comes with a built in ballast (D2R, D2S, D2C) aka Bi-Xenon HID headlights then you just need to buy the HID bulb designed for your car. In my video I only bought a D2S HID bulb, which is cheaper than an aftermarket HID kit. Don't buy any bulb higher than 35W or the maximum wattage allowed for your ballast.
