Replacing headlight bulb
There wasn't much information to be had in a search, so here's a new thread. When replacing the headlight bulb (I got myself some Silverstars), what's the easiest way to get the old bulb out? I have found that the area around the headlight assembly is rather cramped on both sides.... any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

take the headlight assy off your car and install. i would
recommend it especially since you got aftermarket ones and
those aftermarket ones are very sensitive to ANYTHING touching
the bulb.
take off front grill, 4 clips on top, 2 on the side behind the grill.
just take a long regular screw driver.
take off the grill side pieces, 2 clips on top, one behind and
a friction type clip.
take off 3 bolts holding the headlight. 2 on front, 1 on top.
take off bulb harness. 9007 harness, take a regular screw
drive and pull on the lever on the clip (top) as you pull out
the harness from the bulb. unclip the marker and turn signal
harness.
pull out your headlights.
turn headlight holder screw dial thingie ccw and it'll pop right
out.
btw, anyone know how the marker bulb comes off? just a ccw
turn?
you should change the 198 marker bulbs too when you do this.
it'll look too yellow if you have plasma or superwhites in the 9007.
