Angel eye tips?

I've been looking forward to getting my Lux H8's and they finally arrived today. I got the stock bulbs out 'somehow' but I don't see how someone with large hands can get the new ones in. Or even medium hands for that matter. I'm waiting for my wife to get home and maybe she can do it. Does anyone have any helpful hints for doing this???

Grab a 6 pack because there's no easy or stress-free way of getting those bulbs back in

Phew! My wife got them in, but it wasn't easy for her either. I'm convinced that someone with big hands couldn't do it. But...they look great now

Small hands always make installing these easier. the headlights are just too small to work in sometimes. I hope you enjoy them and share some pictures when you get a chance too

You've got a great product there

If you had a long day of work and just ran out of cigs don't install the lux.. after an hour I finally got them in. They look so sick..
