You do have to pull 'em completely - but it is pretty easy.
just pull out(flex) the bumper cover to give you access to pull and replace them.
I did this a number of times and have found that (at least on my silver one)hopefully your silver one is the same case) the paint is very flexible and the urethane has no problem with deformation - and I am really picky.
the assembly pops in place and it is fixed so you don't enev need to re-aim
But if you're picky like me - aftermarket bulbs are a little bit longer/larger, usually, in the 9007 so you might want to aim the beam up a tiny bit to help with focus. The brightness increase for me with just a half turn of the torx adjusting bolt was significant.
I've read your posts, dusty, If you can build a catch can(not too tough) this should be a cinch.
BTW thanks for the can idea - Great mod - My car is running smoother already and I really like the fact that I don't have to clean my exhaust tips constantly anymore.
Got any comments on the mopar tails on the road yet? I still haven't gotten mine but i'm sure they will be the first major visual mod I do. Damn backorders

With The Silverstar Heads and Fogs on It doesn't look like the same car from the front at night. Quite mean[:@]

RE: Bad Bulbs
That is why I hold back on placing feedback, they get my feedback after I've received theirs. This should always be done if there are problems with the products or the seller. I would have waited until he left your feedback before leaving his, then you would have known how badly he was gonna f*** you. With the crap you got from him though, even posting feedback first he would have gotten a bad negative review.

RE: Bad Bulbs
Yeah, you usually find more "problems" with individual sellers than you do with established businesses...at least the ones that want to stay in business!!!

RE: Bad Bulbs
Yeah.
I have seen people that have given multiple feedbacks on one transaction, you might want to check into it. You also have the ability to dispute what they have left as your feedback from them too.[sm=smiley2.gif]
