Honestly I kind of just took a guess when I replaced the ballast. but when I researched how to remove it, the only ones I found were ones that said to bake the headlight to soften up the glue and remove it that way.. I wouldnt recommend most people attempt this. Its not hard but you can get overwhlemed quick. It allowed me also to refinish the headlight lens a little easier than it would on the car.

I noticed a little flicker every once in awhile so I would recommend ordering a new set of lights if its starting to do that. unless you have other warning signs like dash lights then I would say a flicker could indicate irregular voltage in your bulb itself, like mine did before it started shutting off every couple mins

Thanks man. I am going to monitor it for a couple of days. I can live with it as is, but if it gets any worse I am going to order the bulbs. It sounds like folks have been happy with the products and service from XenonDepot so I will probably reach out to them.
