Take the headlight out..it's just a matter of pulling two little brackets out that are right on top of the headlight, you cant miss it. Gently pull the whole assembly out as much as you can and unscrew the cap in the middle. Then you can unclip the bulb and put a new one in.

It's very easy.

Just watch the video on this page:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/chrome...mber-9904.html

Also, as it shows in the video, you DO NOT have to take out the whole headlight. Where they show it being unplugged, simply twist off that big cap and the bulb comes right out. You don't even have to unplug the side blinker connection.

hids should be just plug and play since I have them in mine but mine are easy to swap out dont know about in the new edges.Also thi sis the best way to test them swap from one side to the other if the problem stays there its the bulb, but if it happens in the old socket then its the ballast.
