Copied from my post from before...
Most of the stuff you need to know are already in our manuals. We just lack some more detailed pictures that makes it easier for us to find stuff. So I'll be attaching some pictures in this thread.
First off, our headlights use the H4 bulb, and for those of us who have the stock fog lights, they use the H3 bulbs. If you wish to change them, make sure you buy the ones that are rated within our cars' stock wattage (which is around 55 W, check manual to be sure). If you get bulbs with higher wattage, you should consider upgrading your harness.
Aside from knowing to get H4s and H3s, everything else is up to you. Do a search in the Show and Shine forum to see what other members prefer, as well as where to get the best prices.
Important Note: When replacing your bulbs, be extra careful so that you don't touch any of the glass on the bulbs. Because of the extreme heat coming from these bulbs, the oils from our fingers will cause them to burn out prematurely.. and the last thing you want is for your 60 dollar bulbs to burn out in 3 weeks.
Got it? Good. Now, to change the headlight bulbs, you obviously need to pop your hood. That's how you gain access to the bulbs. You'll need to:
The hardest part is usually the connector.. because most people don't know where the release tabs are, and the manual isn't very helpful at this point. That's where the first picture comes in. See the two arrows in the picture below? They're pointing at the release tabs. That's where you need to squeeze.
I've also circled one of the tabs on the rubber boot. That's what you pull on to remove the rubber boot.

- Remove the connector
- Remove the rubber boot
- Unlatch the lock spring
