I have some Philips Bulbs coming in, and was wondering if anyone could offer some tips for changing the bulbs?

Thanks,

Nathan

There are a couple ways you can do it, but if you look up some threads on the HID install for 8th Gens in the DIY section of the forum they have some pretty detailed options and how to's.

Look in the OM, it will tell you to go though the wheel well. This is how i did mine....

A contortionist with small hands would be really helpful. Mechanics gloves help if you don't want to possibly cut yourself.

I hate useing gloves, I can't feel what i'm doing. If i do wear gloves i wear latex glove just so i don't get my hands too ditry.

Wear the latex gloves anyway as you don't want to touch the bulbs. IMHO the Sylvania's aren't worth the work, for a little more go HIR or for alot more go HID.

Yes, for the sedan. For the coupe it's H11 for the lows and 9005 for the highs.

Through the wheel well is the way to go! Other method requires taking off the front bumper.
