    As indicated by Repair Manual RM10Q0U, did you guys have to...

    1. Remove the LH & RH fender liners
    2. Remove the front bumper cover
    3. Remove the headlight assemblies

    ...before exchanging the bulbs? Seems a bit much just to replace two bulbs...

    Thanks, Tom. I should have used the 'Search' function :) . Both sides done, 15-20 minutes is all it took. Not as white and bright as I would have liked, will give the X-Treme Power a shot the next time around. Thanks again :D .

    Don't expect the Silverstars to last very long. I've seen several posts about the short life of these bulbs.

    I had some Silverstars on my other car that only lasted 2-3 months. Disappointing for $20 a bulb.

    Sylvania's website will tell you they have a shorter life.
