Anything where someone else has done the effort is always easiest. Why bi-Xenon?

Make sure the lights are properly leveled so they are not blinding people?

pop open the trunk and look down where the headlight is. You'll see a couple of holes, one of which you'll see a white plastic with a "X" take a long phillips head screw driver and turn to the left to aim the light down.

You want to do this in the evening and find clear wall you can park your car in front of (about 25' away) and adjust accordingly. You don't need to turn it too much as a slight turn goes a long way.
