i recently bought a 01 civic lx for 5, and just bought some silverstar lights and the problem is, i cant seem to take the old bulbs out, i went thru the hood(oviously) and i tried twisting, pullin it out, but its not bulging out... any suggestion will help, even though ya probably think im an idiot... and any suggestion on how i should put it in..i head you cant touch the bulbs..
sorry i dont know if ya have a lighting section

Um, well, the manual that came with the car explains it really well. You need to remove the rubber cover, then push and pivot a wire in the back to release the bulb. Now you can swap em and put everything back. For the driver side, the power steering fluid needs to be lifted up.

all you gotta do is pull out the rubber stopper circle black thing. Move the little metal latch by pushing either left or right and then take out the bulb and place it back in vice versa .....i would take some pictures of my old manual for you but i'm at work. Besides changing bulbs is way to easy!! Also yea on the right side the power steering does have to come out like he said......just pull up on it and put it to the side

If he touched it, the oil from his fingers will blow the bulb very quickly. Get some alcohol and wipe it really good to get everything off it.
