shouldn't be extremely difficult.. although some fabrication skill will be required.

remove your old headlights and mounting brackets and see what you've got left. if your lucky you'll have enough existing metal and tabs to mount in the new celebrity head lights, else you'll have to fabricate something to mount and hold the new light housings.

Once their securly mounted, wire up the bulbs to the existing light harness and your good to go (although I would add a relay in there to provide enough juice for some nice bulbs and for safety to ensure you don't cook the stock wiring). The adjustment brackets are already attached to your new bulbs so point them and your off!

If your doing it.. you may as well be the first one to snap some pics and give details on how its done. Good luck!
