You're joking aren't you? The detailed instructions in my manual say "Take
it to a dealer"

Well I just changed both bulbs. It was easy - took about 45 minutes
including hauling tools down to the garage and setting up. Dealer was going
to charge 30 minutes for 1 bulb replacement on the drivers side. The drivers
side was easy - losen the two bottom light bolts, take the top two out.
Slide the light forward, pop open the hatch on the bulb assembly, unplug and
replace the bulb. The passener side took a few more minutes because you need
to remove the front part of the air intake. As for allignment, I made some
marks on the wall and just made sure after I tightened everything down they
were still good. All in all its pretty obvious how to do it when you start
looking down into the engine bay.

I am trying those new sylvania silverstar bulbs. They are a much white beam
and they do look brighter. (I was comparing with one of each in). Hopefully
they last a while.

Thanks for everyones input.
