Don't touch the bulb, oil on your hands shorten the life of the bulb.

ok after doing the H3 bulb replacement, i would recommend to use a 10mm long socket to remove the two phillips that hold the housing instead of the phillips head as pointed in the owners manual.. pop in and secure the H3 in the housing with the clip b4 playing with the male/female blade connectors to avoid any contact with the bulb itself... even though it's very sunny out the bulbs look amazingly bright white compared to the stock one. I also replaced the stock 9004's with xtravisions.. i can't wait 'till tonight to test out the new set-up!!
