I don't know how many times I answered this question...
B279, I know your new here so welcome aboard...
When your going to ask some questions take alook around all the threads, It proboly has been covered and you don't have to ask people the same question that already has been answered (In this case I answered this question at least 10 times). Don't be lazy, this message board is really easy to navigate....
Well to answer your question "No it is not hard to Install neither".
Don't take it the wrong way, just trying to show you the right way...

LexRx,
How can you justify your claim that the Philips Ultinons 6000K is a "downgrade" in brightness? The stock HID uses about only 4300K illumination, comparing to the 6000K HID. I don't know where you got those info, but it's NOT true... :eek:

Well, technically it should be brighter, if we compare with the "kelvin" illumination. Personally, I feel they are the same brightness, only difference is color. My eyes can't tell the brightness difference, maybe it's just me. I mean if you're not as picky about color as me, then forget it, don't need to spend the money...

I'm gone for one day to come back to a bashing 
The 6000k bulbs have a higher color temperature but do not necessarily put out more light. 6000k, or 4100k (kelvin) is a measurement of color temperature. The brightness is measured in ANSI (American National Standards Institute) lumens. I know a 4100k HID has 3200 lumens - I'm not sure about the 6000k, but think it is 2800 lumens. Both are better than the ~800 lumens of halogen bulbs.
