Default XENON HIDs!!! HELP!!!

whats going on my fellow celica drivers!

my HID right headlight finally went out on my 2003 celica
what sucks is i cant remember what brand HID i went with or if that even matters...
anyways i hear people say all the time that installing xenon HIDs is easy and any dummy can do it so im thinking of installing them myself
what i need answers from you guys is where can i find detailed instructions on how to install from step A: taking off the headlight to step Z: how to put the headlight back on without screwing anything up of course :]

thanks in advanced fellas and i look forward to being a part of this community
Peace!

before you go changing them, make sure all the wires going into/out of the ballast are connected. When one of mine went it turned out to just be a loose wire.
If one of your bulbs or ballasts does need to be replaced, the brand doesn't matter (I have two different ones), as long as they're the same brightness/strength (6000k, 8000k, 10000k, etc)
if you need to actually remove your headlight assembly, it involves removing your bumper. not real tricky, but time consuming.

You DO NOT have to remove the bumper, i laugh at anyone who took off their bumper to change a headlight assembly.

FIO... be creative.

Have you actually changed your assembly? If so, please, enlighten us.

thanks for the insight guys
i got a pair of xenon h7 6000k bulbs today because i found out it was just the bulb and not the ballast.
new problem is i cant find any screws to unscrew under the hood behind the headlight (i'll post pics tomorrow).
Also where is the best place to get new fog lights for the bumper???

10mm screws, one on the top, one in the front fender hole and one inside the front bumper, have to take off the splash guar (black thing) round the wheel
