You'll need two things, a good LED H7 bulb and H7 bulb adapters. I purchased these bulbs from amazon because they have cancelers and when installed they didnt throw errors, and some online reviews showed that they were the brightest- I just coded off the High beam bulb check using carly so they wouldn't flicker upon start up.

You first want to flip up the cover from the top of the headlight and unscrew the circular dust cap. You need small hands for this, just unscrew the halogen bulb from the socket and remove it from the connector- it pops right out of the connector. Also a lot of people seem to believe that you need to unscrew those torx screws to remove the bulb but those screws aren't meant to be removed- theyre just stoppers and the adapter goes into the screws. Remove the bulb attachment from the LED bulb and get your new led bulb adapters and put them over the attachments from the bulbs, notice the placement of the adapters, as this is crucial, because if you put them on the other side you will only be able to get one side in (notice the picture with the old and new adapter side by side as this is the way you want it back in). I found it easier and had more room to put in the attachment and adapter in first, then slide in the bulb at the end because there is more room to work with. You'll have to fiddle around with it, but I found it was easier to super glue or epoxy the bulb adapter and connection together so they wouldn't move around when you tried to install it. Once in you just slide in the led bulb and plug it in (brown= positive, blue= negative) and there you have it.
