Default Re: Side upper corner of the headlight housing

To replace the bulb on the upper corner of the headlamp housing:

Jack up the front tires...
unscrew the screws that holds the plastic cover just above the wheel.
Pull back the plastic piece far enough to reach your hands into the space.... (No need to unscrew the whole plastic panel)
Reach in and you should by able to touch the plug..... Twist the plug and pull.....

It takes maybe 30 minutes total to replace both bulbs...

Mac...

The bulb you need is listed as 168 on the PIAA site...

http://www.piaa.com/wedgebulbs.html


IMO,

I wouldn't waste any money on replacing the HIGH BEAM bulb.... whether it's PIAA or no PIAA... It won't have any effect on the output beam... UNLESS if you are thinking about replacing it with HID KIT

It seems as if you like to be different from other SC's... Just like me... You may want to change the following if you haven't done so,
-Interior dome light or reading light to blue (Unavailable in PIAA)
-turn signal (front) to lighe blue, (PIAA bulb number 7440)
-backup light (PIAA bulb number 7440)
-Hign Beam (Strobe Light) Everytime you flash a high beam, you'll have the HID's and a Strobe.... Maybe a little too outrageouse but... what the heck.. (By the way.. This bulb is custom)

Good luck...... Enjoy the ride!
