Default Headlamp (bulb) replacement

Hi all,

Replaced my headlight bulbs last night.. Had one go out after 148K miles.
Replaced with Sylvania.. Little bit brighter than stock and only a couple of bucks more than the stock equivalent replacement.

Did not see the knowledge base article on how to do this.. (wish I had) but managed to do it in the parking lot of the autozone store with nothing more than a flat head screwdriver.

The hardest thing to do was the rubber boot.. worst design ever.. and it was very tight quarters.. should have been designed better.

But.. anyway.. still chugging along at 148K miles.. no other failures.

Enjoy

You knew this was coming...

How much were the bulbs? How long did it take?
