Bulbs, I have found the easiest way for me is to take the entire unit out. Make sure you set the pattern correctly afterwards

some housing, the bulb is built into he housing.
i have hid\'s on mine. i found a couple of bolts just behind the popups and bolted the ballast to them. simple job.

pop up lights, take out the fuse in engine bay (better safe than sorry.
plastic housing has about 3 or 4 screws.
then the housing is help in by a couple of springs. might look like its held in by 2 screws (one on bottom side, one on the side) these adjust teh angles of teh light so dont play with them.
headlight should pop out once the springs are unclipped.

Just make sure you take the retractor fuse out after to pop the headlights up, if you knock the lights and they decide they will go down then they will take your fingers off, so be careful :)
