if you just took the engine covers off, then you haven't even really researched!

try reading the owner's manual--it details changing the DRL/high-beam bulb. It's not hard, unless you have a large hand. Just be patient when you install the bulb--it's fragile; you can break off the tip if you're not careful.

Oops. Disregard previous.

Whenever I'm replacing bulbs. I just look at the base of the new bulb I'll be putting in and see what kind of notches, threading, etc., are there.
