Just got it done today. It took about 45 mins for both sides, though 30 mins of it was actually just trying to get the external grey connector for the headlight assembly off(and failing miserably).

Don't do what I did. Here's the tip: You don't actually need to get the grey connector off right away. Twist off the metal headsink cover for the light housing first(counter-clockwise), THEN you can manuever the metal cover to a more favorable position to remove the connector much more easily. My mistake was thinking the connector had to come off in order for metal cover to come off - that is wrong.

For the driver side, turn your wheel all the way to the right so you can access the cover in the wheel well to access the bulbs. You'll need to do this because the fuse box and windshield fluid filler neck leaves very little room on the top side. Take your time with it and wear gloves when handling the bulbs, the ceramic tube is fragile, so be very careful when you install the new bulb in the tight spaces.

Unhappy

Thanks for the tips on installation.

I got my bulbs last night but one of the bulbs was loose in the case. Should I return them to Amazon or should I install them? I opened the case and the bulb seemed fine.
