is it hard??? and when installing HID's i heard you are not suppost touch them with your fingers you need gloves on cause your finger prints have oil on them and then that area heates up over time and burns out the bulb???? any truth to that?

The oils in your finger break down the bulb and yes they could pop or shorten the life.Headlights are easy to do, its 2 or 3 clips and 2 harnesses to take off. I can have mine off in 25 seconds.

It's true about the oil in your fingers can mess up the light. It is incredibly easy to put HIDs in and I love mine alot. It explains it in the owners manual how to replace the stock bulbs.
