Installation is very easy and straightforward. If you look at the link I posted, you'll see that the two metals pieces on the headlight separate to form a Y shape. Those two metal pieces are spring loaded. In order to install them you need to squeeze them together so the shape goes from a Y to a l. The headlight will NOT install if you do not do this.

Another important point. I stole this from the LUX installation guide

When inserting the H8, there are 3 tabs that need to line up. The 3 tabs form an upside down shape of a “T”. It is helpful to use a marker and put a line or arrow on the base of the unit to figure out which direction is top. This will save you time in installing the unit.
- You can also guide the new H8 in by looking at it from the outside as shown. Notice how the tabs have rotated into their locked position.
Basically take note of how the stock bulb is removed and lined up. Then do the exact same only backwards when installing the new bulb.
