Changing out xenon bulbs low beams. Do i need to remove headlight?

Going to upgrade to 6000k low beams, do i need to take out the headlight to change the bulb?

Yeah I think it'll be easier when removing the headights. Or at least loosening them up a bit to slide them forward. I can only inmagine how tight it would be to replace the xenon bukb without removing the headlight.

btw,
Which bulbs did you end up getting? And don't forget to post some pics!

Not sure what the brand name of the bulbs are but i got
8000k hid fogs and 6000k low beams.
All from bavtoys.com

I just did this 2 days ago. Some people on the forum have managed to replace the xenon bulb by unscrewing the headlight and moving it forward a little. I'm quite familiar with the screw locations and replacing the bulbs but I couldn't manage to do it with the headlight in (too tight and couldn't reach some screws). I ended up removing the headlights completely and the swap took all of 2 minutes.

Damn 8000k fogs and 6000k low beams. Seems like a sick setup. I really wanna get 8000k fogs. Let us know if you get any error messages. I'm really looking for a kit without these styupid error messages that annoy me. Putting in an hid kit seems like it'll be a problem. Heck, when I put in my Hoen bulbs, I got an error message when I first replaced them. How much more for HID fog replacements!

I didn't remove the headlights or even loosen them. You just have to remove the air filter and intake thingy on the right side, and you should have enough room to reach the bottom screw, and the other 2 are easy. The left side is a lot easier to do since there isn't much in the way
