Not hard just replace bulbs. My moms hids point real low. Not sure why. Maybe it's just cause they were cheap hids. Mine I got on a trade and love them.

Whatever you do don't touch the new bulb lens. Also you have no way to adjust the direction the light going unless you have the tool for it. Simply swapping out headlights will not change where they direct the light

If I remember correctly you just have to move stuff (air box and battery) to get at the sockets. Twist them pull the light out put the new one in and put it back in

Long needle nose worked great for me on a Gen4. Them clips can be a pain....especially the bottom two.

Bump. The low beam headlight burnt out. Not even a year after I put them in. Look on the date of the picture above.
