I came across the diagram of instructions for removing the headights in the 09+ to upgrade the bulbs a few months back on here and am now unable to find it...Just hoping someone could re post it here or provide a link....I can't even remember who posted it :(.....THANKS!

Also any tips for when I am doing this little project?!

i did this just last week i dont have a diagram but this is what i did.....first of all you have to take the plastic pice off that goes across the front part of the rad and its just plastic push pins and then it reveals 4 10mm bolts that you have to take out so you can remove the grill and to do that you have to pull straight out on the bottom part of the grill and they you can take out the top bolt on the actual headlight and also the bottom one they you have to go into the inner part of the fender thrrough the lil flap thats there and there is 2 more bolts in there that you have to take out but ur not finish yett because if u look up inside that lil flap you can see a white pushtab type thing and you have to either push up or pull down on this tab i cant rember lol but then you can wiggle the light out...............hope this helps for you!!!!!

They look pretty good (temp till I get some HID')

all led are compatible as long as they are 194 bulbs. Sometime u just have to wiggle them a bit and make sure you put them on the right way.
