oh yea i forgot about the rubber cover pull it off...the plug will probably come off the bulb as well so be careful not to pull on the wires to hard and pull them out of the plug

Pull/tug the rubber gasket off. Then release the aluminum clip. You have to press in then up or down. Forgot exactly which, my head was upside down when i looked at it. Once you see how it looks like you should be able to figure it out easily.

I replaced my high beams with the PIAAs ION yellow something...sadly they look very much stock as DRL. Even when the high beams are on they still look kinda stockish if you look at the headlights from outside the car. However, the light shone on the road is definitely yellow, and that looks great.

So...if you want yellow DRLs, you might not get what you are looking for.

DRL's?? Those are Canada only, right? These bulbs I got have more of a pastel yellow coating as opposed to amber or even slightly tinted glass....For $12 this is whatcha want....They look yellow on the road and to others, and they cut through fog like a knife through butter!

Tried again.....Screw it, i'll just take the F-Ing bumper/lights off to do it when my new HID bulbs come in...I guess the car had D2R's installed and the light pattern is a little screwy....Who would put D2R's in a D2S?
