Yup, through the wheel area:
- Take off the rubber sleeve protecting the bulb
- Unhook the brace
- Slowly take out the bulb assembly (take note of the frame position)
- Detach the H7 unit from the plastic frame holder
- Attach the new H7 unit to the plastic frame holder
- Insert bulb assembly in its original position (careful not to touch the bulb glass to anything)
- Lock the assembly with the brace
- Hooking up the brace back is a tough one. I found an easy method. Find a hollow tube (pen, tool, etc) that is about 2mm in diameter. Push the brace **** using the hollow tube all the way to the deep end until it clicks. I used to have sore fingers doing this during my first time.
- Attach the rubber sleeve and finish up by closing the wheel well
...Do these steps for both sides. Oh and may I recommend Sylvannia SilverStars H7s :D

Retainer clip housing very fragile
When re-inserting the retainer clip, which slips into a plastic housing, do not simply bend and snap into position- you may break the plastic catch point. Carefully release spring tension, while sliping into place.
