To pull out the OEM bulbs do you need to remove the whole headlight? I looked at the back and it doesnt look like you can take out the blubs with the headlights still in??? Does anyone know? Is there anyone got some documentation they can link to me?
 
Yes you need to pull out the whole lamp assembly to change all the bulbs easiest, especially the high beam bulb H1. After you take out the main headlight on the driver side you can reach through underneath to disconnect and screw out the foglight bulb to change it too. But for the passenger side foglight bulb, you have to remove the splashguard underneath it, which is bolted to the bumper, and fit your hand through from underneath.
Thanks for the info, now to take out the headlight assembly do you need to remove the front bumper or something? I was looking at it and I only see the two top screws you remove with a 10mm socket. Then I was looking at the rest of it and dont see how it comes out?
 
You don't need to remove the bumper. You remove the top 2 screws with a 10mm socket, and disconnect the plug, then first push from behind the headlight to get it started out, it is in there very tight. I've heard you could put painter's tape around the border on your bumper to prevent scratching any paint, but I've never bothered. You will have to pull hard to get the last part out - the top side marker reflector corner. For me I found it easier to get the driver side headlight out compared to the passenger side.
Thanks for the info I figured it out... It just didnt come out easy so I thought I was doing it wrong. Its a trick to get them out but they do come out. thanks
