hey brad I changed mine with know experience there is a post on here about how to get started(not sure where it is) but it is farily straight forward. it took me about 2.5 hours. but i have since taken them a few times and you get alot faster at it. there is 3 screws one on the side and two in the front. I'll bet they will be pretty rusty so be very carefull not to strip them. the first time I changed them one of the heads broke off so be careful. once you get the lights out take your old screws to a parts place and replace them with stainless screws, then if you have to change them ever it is easier. also you will have to change the wiring harness off the old lights to the new lights. take the bulbs out of the old lights and put them in the new ones. the lights that came in my new lights burnt out in a day. good luck if you have any problem pm me and I will try to help out. or mardydelica on here is very good at changing the lights and installing the daytime running light kit if i was to do it all over again I would just take it to him.

hope this helps

Brad,

Pretty basic stuff... the new lights wont plug into the vehicle, so, like matthew wrote, you have to take the wiring harness off the other set of lights. Just attach the new wires to the old ones in the same way. All the colors are the same, so just rewire it all the same. Anyhow, it shouldn't take to long. Good luck.
