Replaced the HID headlights with the LED’s from Lucas Lighting and we are very pleased with the outcome! These light are the BEST!
Pics of the difference?

I’ll take a pic tonight of these lights. I did not take one of the HID Lights it came with, they were horrible, hardly put out any light.
That’s what we have….I thought about buying the OEM housings and converting……but I wanna see these please

We also have an RDL adapter installed which keeps the drive time lights on keeping them from dimming when headlights are on

I meant DRL Adapters
Those are really nice. I also have the DRL adapters, too, which make a big difference. I might want to do that to my headlights now that I've seen your pics. So, please tell me again, what is necessary to do the headlights? Please list everything you've done to upgrade to those lights. If it's going to be a pain in the arse, I probably won't do it.

Thanks for posting those pics.
Gotcha, But, I've heard that the headlight bulb is sealed and you have to melt the seal to get to the bulb. Is this case?

No that is not the case. You’ll need a 10ml and 7 ml socket, T10 to remove the wheel well and that’s it. The bulb you turn counter clockwise and it will click when it unlocks, then you can pull it out. Pretty easy! The guys at Lucas lighting have tech support line you can ask questions as well.
Well, if it's that simple, I will most likely do it. I had just read somewhere here in these forums that you had to use a heat gun to melt the seal around the bulb and it seemed like it was going to be a giant pain to do this. I like the plug n play!

Thanks, again, for your response. Your pics really jazzed me and I am on a mission now... lol!

Yes!!! Thanks to you Cashss99
So, I'm a bit confused, and excuse my ignorance, but If it's as simple as "plug n play", just twisting the bulb out and replacing it in the OEM housing there already, then why is there a thread talking about all the heat gun application to do the same thing? I've already replaced my factory blinker bulb with an LED bulb down there, and that is a twist, turn and replace the bulb application, so I've been in that housing already. I can go back to that same housing where the headlight bulb is and just twist it out and replace that bulb? Sorry if I come across as being difficult, but I just want to be sure what the process is before I go to the trouble of it all. Which, by the way, isn't all that much trouble.

Also, do you have to unbolt the housing and remove it to replace the bulb, or can you just reach in, twist the bulb out, and replace it? It would be great if someone that is doing this can video the process and post it. Whenever I get around to this, I will post a vid of it. Don't know when that will be.

I think if you are replacing the entire HID glass housing with a LED housing you need to do all that heating jazz
