Harder than I thought it would be, but read on, don't jump to conclusions. First, I'm blind as a bat. I wear contacts but have no up close vision with them, so days I know I am going to need to see small things up close I wear my glasses. This meant some of the time I had my head crammed up under the dash with my glasses off squinting to see what I was doing. Then-the spade connector to the yellow/black wire to supply side of #4 (low beam) just fell off the fuse block when I touched it. The spade connector was cracked and fell to pieces. Jay must anticipate things like this as he includes a couple of spade connectors in the kit. It was a bit of a challenge splicing on a new connector, but it left me wondering how long would it have been 'til I'm driving along one night and lost my headlights? Third, I'm a big guy (6'4" and 190 lbs.) and I have big hands, and I don't like working in small cramped areas. When I was done, I had headlights, both high and low, so I must have done something right! But, all in all, took about 45 minutes and I'm sure well worth the effort. Thanks again to Jay for putting this kit together! Jeff
