You might have to pull the little plastic adapter thingy off your old lights...

no...sorry, i should have been more clear...the plugs on the bulb do not fit the stock harness. i thought the H7's were the right bulbs, but there's no way they'll fit.

anyone?
Ok you don't have to unclip the white harness.
Pull back the rubber boot, till where you can see the wire clip (silver).
On the bottom of is where you can move the wire clip (silver) out so the whole bulb assembly comes free.
From there remove the bulb holder (black and has little nobs on the bottom, you see it sitting on top of the big black piece that the wire harness attaches to.
Once that is remove the bulb and black piece it sits in will be free.
Pull the bulb out of this little holder, and place the new one in there.
Then place the thing back into the bigger black hold that has the wire harness attached to.
And pop the wire back over the whole thing so it locks down. This is the hardest part of the whole thing and why you will hate H7s from now on.

thank you sir. yeah, that makes sense that you don't have to pull the white harness off at first. i didn't think to take the bulb out of the "bigger black holder" (it was late and dark 
) i'll give it another shot tonight.
thanks again!
ps...hope you feel better soon!

i'm probalby gonna put them in tonight...i'll take some pics of the process.
I just installed the SilverStar H7s last night...the install was a pain in the butt (especially the passenger side), and I really don't see much difference in the colour temperature of the lights. I was expecting the white/blue colour, and these are still white/yellow. Nice light, but not worth the $50CDN I paid for them.

I would say it might be a little better, but it was already great to begin with. I don't want to sound like I hate these bulbs...they are nicer than the stock ones...but if you're looking for the true blue/purple HID look, these won't do it.
Then again...they won't melt your headlight housings, either
