Default LUMINICS bulbs

So, after i saw forum after forum about the luminics bulbs i decided i had to buy a set of the pure blue bulbs. Also, everyone said they were very simple to install. But, i am very bad with anything involving wiring or something of the sort. So could someone give me some help by giving me some steps or details about installing the bulbs? Thanks guys, and girls.

It's pretty much open the hood, twist the assembly and pull the harness out... unplug the stock bulb and plug in the luminics, (Without touching the bulb itself)... Then slide the bulb and harness back into the housing and twist to lock it in...

the car manual is your friend. if you can't do this, you shouldn't be near a car.

yeah you shouldn't have too much trouble.. it's easy to take the lights out, it was a bit of a task for me, having girly hands not as tough as a guy's hands i guess. the only trouble i ran into was twisting the harness out of place. you can pretty much just look down into the headlight and see which direction to turn the harness; twist it, then pull it out a bit to change the bulb.

well, i was thinking of putting in silverstars in my tc, for the low beams... but i dont want to mess my car up, and i heard that tc'cant handle anything other than stock.. should i get a harness upgrade? also, since the foglights are the same size, should i get a upgraded harness as well?

i dont care if anything happens to the bulb, i dont want anything to happen to the car... so i will prolly put them in now, seeing as to how only two people have actually melted their harnesses compared to the hundreds who havent. thanks
