Default How do you put in different DRL?

I just bought 2500k Nokya 80W 2005 lights for my DRL's but cant seem to get behind the headlight. The passenger side I have a bit of room but not the driver side at all. I was wondering if anyone else has done this and possibly have an easy way of doing this. lol all i wanna do is change the bulbs. I thought of trying maybe to take off the wheels and try through the fender but just an idea. Any help would be appreaciated. Thanks

Curiously does anyone know if 80W will run well for DRL? Like is it too much Wattage? I dont think so but just to be safe.

Remove the coolant reserve tank. Just pull it upward.

While the DRL is on the voltage to the high beam bulb is reduced, so i doubt a higher watt bulb will hurt it. However, if high beams are used alot it may blow a fuse here and there.

I tryed pulling it upward but something is holding it down and i dont want to break anything. Just pulling is right out will still let me put it back in no problem without breaking anything?

you won't break anything... just pull harder. putting it back is easy.

Scratched my hand for my friends headlights. I figured in the end its not that hard at all. You actually just have to position it correctly, the pass and driver side aren't exactly a mirror in terms of putting it in.
