Hello, Oliver and John,

I thought there was a rat in the wiring! The manual said H7 55W bulbs, nothing about High-Intensity Discharge, so I picked up a pair at Autozone with the correct code number and wattage, the uprated Sylvanias, for $40.00/pair. (The second bulb went out as I arrived at the store!)

Now the manual described the changing procedure, and mentioned no tools. But unless you've done it once, the reference to unhooking a clamp is confusing, and the passenger side housing has little room to maneuver with the air filter box just behind it. I hope these two bulbs last for a few years.

Forty bucks is a lot better than two hundred fifty! Thanks for the help!
