They were pretty easy to install. I didn't do the headlight relay upgrade - I'm running the factory setup. The plugs on these headlights are a little large and connectors/wiring on the the inner (high beams) headlights are pushed up against the core support. Not ideal, but seem to be okay. There isn't a hole behind the high and low beam buckets in my core support, but it would be better to drill a hole behind the high beams in the core support for clearance on those connectors. Other than that, they fit the buckets and trim rings just fine and the wiring was easy.

A tip: run your wires the way you want them to run and have them sticking out through the buckets and then install the connectors. If you don't, you'll find out that the connector won't fit between the bucket and the core support.
