Help with putting in hid kit

Hi guys

So I was going trying to put in some xenon bulbs in my car I no it's h8's the car needs but I was just woundering do I really have to take of the bumper to take out the headlight to get in the back of them or is there something I'm missing. It's only because I don't want to have to pay loads to get a full set of headlights

Thanks and pics and info would help

putting in an HID kit?
yes you do need to take out the bumper, then you need to remove the bracket that secures the headlight assembly in its place. I'm in the process of replacing my HID's and it's a pita, but once you do it you'll get the hang of it

Take the bumper off? Can you just go in from the wheel wells?

If you're putting in an HID kit you don't need to remove your front bumper. Same goes to if you want to change the bulb.
