Headlight Bulb Change time... help

Any advice on how to replace the bulbs, I hear you need to jack the car up or take the bumper off. Any help is appreciated.

Don't need to take of the bumper. Just go through where the tire is. Less of a headache. Look it up and you'll see that it was already cover under the forums.

he means if you search you'll find tons of threads on here about it. you will.

simply though, you can cut the wheel to the side and push your hand in between the fender liner and fender - but its a pain to work that way. easiest way for me was to lift the front of the car, remove the front wheels, and take out most of the wheel liner and install the bulbs

Any suggestions on bulbs, I was going to get some sylvainias. Dealer wants 200 each, they have lasted 4 years to the day. Was going to order the below unless someone else can offer a diff suggestion.

It's very easy to access, you might even be able to replace them without taking the wheel off. I did a write up last year when installed my hid kit, see the link below.

I replaced the fogs to match the hids last year, Im pretty sure I was able to grab the headlight bulb. I just cut the wheel and took of the fender cover. Got to play with it I guess, for now its damn cold. Appreciate everyones help.
