Does anyone have any advice on how to remove the Headlight Bulbs (Halogen)? Do I need to remove the light assembly for this, or can it be done without removing anything?

I would like to replace the orignal bulbs with either PIAA 4000K or Sylvania 4100K bulbs. Has anyone done this before and has the replacement made a difference?

Thanks

I just finished replacing my stock bulbs with Polarg Shining Wizard 5000K's with heavy duty wires. It was not hard, but you have to be very careful not to drop some of the lower screws (the silver one's, not the black ones). They do not have to be removed, just loosened. Unlike the 2009, there are not just ONE but TWO per headlight. While it is not hard, it certainly took longer than I expected... 45 minutes. If I did not drop screws, it would have been a 30 minute job.

Attached below is a picture of the before and after. The top is the stock lights. The yellow tabs in the middle were my alignment-markers.



My only concern is what the dealer will say when I bring it in for my 5K service.

Let me better clarify... You will need to remove the assembly as well as plastic shroud in the front of the hood. It was not difficult, but definitely go slowly. Additionally, my reference to 2 screws was for a 2010 with stock halogens.
