Lenses are an easy change, takes about 20 minutes per side. But as James noted, do not touch the reflectors - the vapor deposited coating can wipe right off! I'd get a can of dust-off and blow any accumulated particulate matter out under 25% pressure, and leave it at that.

And for sure get the e-codes if you don't already have them (E in a circle stamped on the glass, or E1, E2, etc.). You'll need to do both sides, but you'll have a lot more light on the pavement, where it belongs.

A friend of mine at Osram Sylvania says the SilverStar H7's halogens are due out very soon - they'll be dynamite.
