I'm having the worst luck with changing and adjusting my headlights.  I've tried doing exactly what they said in the manual... ####... i even went to EHow.com to try to figure it out... but I got nothing!

The passenger side bulb looks pretty stable and stuff but it doesn't move out at all.  I don't have a clue what to look for.  and the driver side one has a goddamn rubber thing over it and it wiggles like nobody's business.  I'm going insane trying to get those #### things out.

and another thing, the driver lights are like pointing straight up.  ummm... well... not quite all the way... but still... it's noticeable.  i think i'm gonna have to go deep inside!  well... for me it's deep inside cause i know squat about cars!  anyone got any tips or had this prob b4?

btw, plz try to refrain from laughing <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

first unscrew the big plastic thing. &nbsp;next is the metal clip. &nbsp;just squeeze the 2 little handles together and pull out. &nbsp;then just reach in, pull the wires out, and change the bulb. &nbsp;this is actually the easy part. &nbsp;put it back together takes more time and patience cause the metal clip is held in with tension, and it slips like crazy. &nbsp;get someone with small, strong hands to do this. &nbsp;my lights took about 2 hrs of struggling.

i have small hands, but i had to change like 3 bulbs about a month ago. there r only those 2 clips for that one it sounds like ur having trouble with, all i did was pushed in one clip in w/ my thumb n the other end w/ a flat head screwdriver. ur limited on space to work w/ for this cuz it's all cramped n u have to get them at an odd angle, but just keep at it. took me like 15 minutes to do all 3 of the bulbs i replaced.

big hands=2 hours

i just got cheap lights. &nbsp;4 sets (headlights, high beams, turn signals, and corners) were $140. &nbsp;dont waste your money on piaa. &nbsp;its all the same

&quot;big hands = 2 hours&quot;

i could understand that cuz even though i don't have the biggest hands, it still kinda sucked. there should be more room to work with, i can't remember what was in the way now that i think about it, oh well.

The Piaa Xtreme whites are really nice, they give it that sorta ricer blue look but it actually lights up the road much brigter than the cheaper lights
