RTFM-replacing bulbs has to be in the manual bro although twisting and pulling sounds like a good method [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

twist that black cover on the back of the headlight about 1/4 turn and then you got a straight shot at the bulb

1. Pull black plug off of the back of the bulb
2. pull rubber gasket off...its a friction fit, grab the rubber tabs facing back of the car and pull
Now you should see the back of the bulb, there is a wire braket holding it in...
3. Put your finger right above the bulb push wire braket in and slide to your left, braket should flip down
4. Pull out the bulb
5. Put in new Bulb DONT TOUCH THE BULB make shure it dosnt touch anything going back in
6. Flip up braket slide to right
7. Push on gasket, make shure 3 bulb prongs are through the center hole
8. Push on plug

Behind the right bulb there is a white canister with rubber hoses in your way, you can pull this strait up to move it out of your way for easier access.

And just so you know you didn't buy HID lights. Those would be blue colored halogen bulbs most likely


Tell your friends you paid $700 for HIDs and see who believes you[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Civicster should not be trusted
hid bulbs sucks. cheep *** imitation effect. i can recognize real or fake hid... don't get $20 xenon bulb. get krypton. they're way much better and they don't have glare on it..... only $50 though. but itz worth it.

Yeah the Xenon HID wannabe's suck. I went thru about 4 pair of them & one set fried my connectors. So I had to replace them. Go down to the junkyard & get an HID system off of a totalled beamer & modify it all to fit. That's my plan. If it ever happens .
