What bulbs does the 1998 take?

What is a good source for these bulbs? Thanks in advance.

If halogen, you can get them at any auto parts store like Pep Boys, etc.

If xenon, you'll have to search the forum, or it's probably listed in the owner's manual. You'll need tamper proof torx to take them off. Replace both bulbs and get some good ones off ebay. The dealer price is sky high.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/taidaninstall.html">Some help on how you take the xenon covers off, the air box has to come off on the RH side I think</a></li></ul>

Looks like Xeons. Voltage symbol is on the box.

Will these work?

4300K-4800K gives the best lighting you can get for seeing the road etc. in front of you. The hotter (bluer) bulbs are more for show and aren't as effective at lighting up the road. I would get these 4300K or 6000K bulbs or equivalent from another vendor:<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-BULBS-HEADLIGHTS-D2S-D2R-6000K-8000K-10000K-12000K_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ36476QQihZ011QQi temZ320190261307QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW">D2S HID Bulbs</a></li></ul>

How hard is it to install these bulbs? Is there really a chance of electrocution?

Do i have to do anything before I remove the covers and remove the bulbs?

No, as long as the car isn't running, you will be fine. Make absolutely certain not to touch the bulbs with your bare hands; oils from your skin will ruin the bulbs, so wear latex (or some kind of thin) gloves. As stated in an earlier post, you will need a set of torx® headed screwdrivers to remove the bolts holding the housings. Also, on the passenger side, you will have to remove the airbox assembly to get to the light housing. That side will take twice as long.
