I can't find anything on this, apologies it's already been covered.
Skill level: Basic

I bought the LED bulbs featured on the CDUK facebook page cover photo from eBay for £25 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331214542782?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 and they are a little longer than the standard bulb fitted.
I spoke to one guy who'd fitted them to his, and he said he had to take the lights out to fit. This is not the case.
I've only covered the passenger side, but the drivers side is more or less the same, just slightly trickier for those with larger hands.
At the top of the headlights is the DRL bulb. The cap should be locked in place, this twists clockwise roughly 20 degrees. It can then be pulled out

It may be a little stubborn, so give it a little wiggle, and the cap and bulb should come out, and you can easily and naturally pull it towards you. The bulb should then pull out of the cap, and can be replaced with the new LED bulb. This bulb is considerably longer than the one you have just removed.

Attempting to fit the bulb the way you removed the previous one will not be possible. My finger is there to stop the bulb from falling. This is as far as you will get by this method, as the cap of the bulb catches.

You will need to reverse the bulb in to the space in the wing of the car in order to insert it. I held the bulb with my right hand to make holding and guiding the bulb after this point easier using my left hand. Once the top of the bulb is past the light housing, it can be straightened up and pushed in to place.

Once pushed, you can twist the cap until it drops back in to its housing, and twist anticlockwise to lock the cap in place. Check before using your vehicle that the lights work. These lights may have a polarity and only work one way.

The bulb emits a much clearer bright white light than the standard dull yellow light fitted, and in my opinion giving the car a more upmarket look. It is also slightly less noticeable during the day due to the colour emitted.
