Super duper pain in butt to install on 04 Frontier (thanks Nissan!) - but Great lights

I'm happy to have the lights. They are super bright and way better than the halogens I had before. Although, they were a nightmare to install on my 04 Frontier. Nissan made it incredibly difficult to access. On the passenger side, I had to remove my battery to install. On the driver side, I nearly had to remove my cold air intake to get these guys in.This frustrates me more, because I installed similar Sealight LEDs on my wife's Toyota Sienna in like 5 minutes. But on the Frontier, it was incredibly difficult.Here's how you cannot waste as much time as me:1. You need to remove your existing bulbs (well, duh), but I'll explain some tricks. First unplug the power cord. If yours is old like mine, you may need to put a gripping pliers on there.2. Then unscrew the white O-ring. It somehow twists to the left.3. Then you can unseat your existing light bulb.To install the new one:1. Make sure you twist this bulb in half (it separates in two, between the bulb and seat.)2. Insert just the bulb portion into your headlight space. There are 3 tiny notches that must line up and then it will sit snug. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS - YOUR WHITE O-RING WILL NEVER SECURE COMPLETELY. You may need to hold the bulb in place while you get the white O-ring on.3. Then, line up your white O-ring. It has 3 little notches. You have to line these up to the 3 bigger notches on your headlight canister, hold it flush, and slowly turn right until it fully secures.If you got this far, the hard part is done.4. Now, take the rest of the Sealight fixture, insert it into the bulb and twist right to secure.5. Then you can add power and you are good to go!I pray this works for you and you didn't have to remove your battery in a cold driveway like I did! Cheers!
