Default Hey guys how easy is it to change out the HID bulbs/parking/fog lights...
I just ordered 8000K D4S bulbs and yellow Mtec parking lights, high beam and fog lights. I have about 1 hr of lunch break before I have to hit back into office.

Does it take long to change the bulbs? I read that the wiper fluid may be in the way when changing out the HID bulbs. How about changing out the other lights? Would I be able to change it out quickly?

you can pull out the wiper fluid tube so that it can be out of your way.

Takes a while, and will probably be the hardest head light bulb change you have ever done... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Im serious!

how about the parking lights? Is it difficult to remove the wheel plastic lining behind the bumper to install fog lights?

By parking lights do you mean the city lights? And no, the fogs are pretty easy to change out. Just go through the wheel well on both sides.
