install is very easy, only 3 nuts hold em on, and once there off just push the little rubber seal (with wires though it) out and put the new one in. cant really get much easyer.

Because that seems about right for a quote for 1 OEM headlight. If you're talking about JDM tails, check ebay. I bought mine for $209. |

It should just pull right out. and the new tails have the rubber thing you pull right back into it. Very simple

Do you mean that round rubber thing?
I just pulled it out the whole harness. The JDM ones should have the same thing. It's plug and play
