almost zero
well i found it hard to manuever my hand thru the wheel well
especially when trying to "twist" the tube where the bulb is
and i already have small asian hands lol

other than that its simple really(thanks to a member**batman_4** here that gave me the guide to do the replacement)
1. to make it simple when working on the driver side turn your wheel all the way to the right to give you more room

2. remove the clip holding the wheel well( theres only one)

3. slowly pull out the plastic wheel well and youll see the bottom part of the headlight assembly

4. look for a cylindrical grey tube in the area where the bulb is(you can almost tell right away when you see it)
twist counter clockwise and pull

5. remove the stock bulb and replace with the LED's(note use paper towels when handling the bulb to avoid any oils from your hands burning out the bulb)

6. put everything back together and do the passenger side and you are done

about 5 minutes each side
