Default Installing Silverstar headlights

I bought a pair of Sylvania Silverstar headlights and I'm having some trouble installing them. Can someone give me step by step directions on how to install headlights for an RX300. Thanks

Behind each headlight, you should see an electrical connector (with a few visible colored wires) connected to the back of the 9006 stock bulb. Slowly pull the connector out (there might be a plastic tab on the connector you have to press if you're having difficulty), and clean the dirt/dust around the connector if necessary. The back of the bulb should look like the shape of an elbow, and removal of the bulb is done by twisting to unlock (there's only 1 direction). Remember the orientation of the bulb once removed when you start to install the Silverstar bulbs, and then perform the installation from the above-mentioned steps reversed.

It's really plug-and-play, no hardware required, and only takes minutes to finish the job. Hope this helps
