Give some details. What did you have to take off? What came in the package? What did you encounter along the way?

I've used "Super White" before off of eBay - around the same price, with good results. Used them before I went HID - which I recommend as it's more than 10x more light.

The truth on those bulbs is this..
they try to give off a real HID look but in the process
actually illuminate less.
They may be Whiter, but honestly are less brighter.

Something with more of a 5000k brightness will be
whiter and brigher then stock 4300k halogen bulbs.

When they add the blue coating, for a more blue-white look
it defeats the purpose.
Reason being, blue light in the normal spectrum of light colors
doesnt travel as far as white.
They look cool at nite though and have sold hundreds of sets
of both over the last 10 yrs.
The good thing is, they didnt cost you alot.
The better 5k halogen bulbs should run about $20-25 for the pair.

Installation is pretty easy.
Pop the hood, and on the pass side, reach behind the battery
grab the connnector, squeeze firmly on both sides, and pull back
off the bulb. Then pull off the rubber boot that helps keep water
out. Push on the metal retaining clip, Release, and swing the clip
away. Remove bulb.
Before installing the new bulb, its a good idea to clean the glass with
rubbing alcohol and clean towel and dont touch with fingers. Hold
only by the metal base while installing.

Dr side, take the top of the air box off, and then remove the bottom
part to gain access to the back of the bulb, and go at it.

HID's draw less amperage/produce less heat than the stock halogens. Keep in mind, the 5-6000k bulbs are brighter/whiter than the higher rated bulbs.
Check out Tones site for one option. www.tonemonday.com
Also there are quite a few on ebay, just stay away from the el-cheapo's...they won't last.
You'll need a kit for H-4 system & mounting the ballast/igniters is pretty straight forward with a little imagination & a cordless drill/driver.
