Do you have a DIY THREAD to help with install ?

I have a build thread, but I have an 03. I think you have a similar setup. Do you have the replaceable plug in bulb, or do you have to replace the entire headlight if it blows out?

None so far with mine. I have the flexible braid, not the ones with the cooling fans.

I think somewhere around 50,000 hrs maybe. I did have an early failure, which they did cover, but it came from China/Japan. Overall I'm happy with them.
