Great, the local shop told me they had to take the bumper off and my bulbs to replace my xenon for install was $120. (I brought the bulbs) Great, the local shop told me they had to take the bumper off and my bulbs to replace my xenon for install was $120. (I brought the bulbs)

Yeah, I know about the trap door. But unless you have the car up on a lift, it is very awkward to access the bulb that way with the car on the ground. The job I was doing was installing an HID kit. (Not the fake-me-out "HID" bulbs, an actual HID kit with bulbs and balasts) and they won't install through the trap door. You have to remove the headlight assembly as I described.

YOU ARE WRONG!!!! I changed my halogen to HID FULL KIT and I did it ALL thru the trap doors!!!! All you have to do is turn your wheels all the way to "left turn" to do the passenger side and turn wheels all the way "right turn" to do driver side. It's only a LITTLE awkward but you only need patience and DONT use gloves so you can FEEL where and how the lights go in. And, YES the ballast fits in there too, if you have the "slim" style. It's even easier to just jack up your car, use jack stands, remove tire, then It's SUPER EASY....Don't be so lazy!!! YOU ARE WRONG!!!!
