unbolt the head light, remover the head light, remove the cover over the bulbs, then remove the bulbs, reverse to reinstall.

thanks. so before taking off is there anyway to tell if i have the hids installed or not?

I found out mine were by turning them on and realizing they had to "warm up" to get to there brightest; regular halogen don't have to.There will also be a sticker on your headlight that says that they should only be touched by a technician, high current warning, etc. Pretty much don't go jamming stuff where stuff isn't supposed to be jammed into. I could be wrong but weren't hid's standard '03 and up?

Optional '03 and up.

If you do, here's the procedure for that.

If you have HIDs, the color of the low beams will not match the color of the high beams or the fogs. When you first turn them on, the way they come on is much different than the halogens.

Well , I'llbedamd !! I've had my 06 for one year now. A whole year! And never noticed that the lights were not plug n play style! I never even thought to look at that.

whats the wattage i should stay with? alot of em are 55w and 100w.

 

[jolinc01]

55w for halogens.....100w will most likely melt something.

 

[coleio1]

ok cause most bulbs i find for the h11 are 55w. some of the 9005 are 100w. so the 55w should be fine? what about 65w for the 9005?

Why don't you pull the stock bulbs out, and check the wattage? Stick to the stock levels, and don't bother with Hoens (maybe for your highs and fogs). The light they emit is actually somewhat dimmer compared to stock.
