Default Headlight Installation

I recently purchased some new projector headlights (they look amazing) and i was wondering if they are hard to install? Do i just pop out the old ones out and just put these in or is there more to it?

Ok first you have to take off the front bumper. This involves 6 screws and some pins. First you need to take off the radiator cover. There are 6 pins that pull out in the middle to release the cover. Then there are two bolts on top to release the top pillars of the bumper, and two screws on each side under the wheel wells. These can be accessed by removing the wheel well liner screws and peeling back the liner. Once that is done take off the bumper. There are 3 bolts on each headlight. Remove those to remove the headlights. Once that is done you need to seal your new headlights with RTV silicone to ensure that they do not leak. Once that is done you need to decide where you are going to wire your LED's, either parking lights or blinkers. Then cut and splice the LED wire into the choosen route. Once that is done plug the headlight harness into the cars reciever. Turn on lights to ensure that they work. After this step go ahead and aim the headlights. Once they are aimed, check all your work thus far. When you are satisfied of your progress put the bumper back on and enjoy the headlights. If you are not comfortable enough with any step involved in this process don't do it yourself.

HA, I watched that video before I put mine on. It is not the same at all. Not even close.
