Bought the PIAA low beams to try out a few months ago and finally got around to installing them.

TO INSTAL:
Turn on headlights.
Switch the headlight selector back one knotch.
(this leaves the headlight doors up, but lights turned off)

Remove the three screws from the headlamp surround and carefully remove the black plastic surround.

now, reach in from the inside of the engine bay and the low beam is the outside bulb (highbeam is the inside bulb)
If you have large forearms, go get your girly younger brother and make him reach in there and remove the bulbs.

Replace stock with PIAA bulbs and repeat the opeining process.

Pics: (will try to take some at night as well of the PIAAs installed)

It is certainly a WHITER light. I will know more in a few hours when I go out after dark.
The stock bulbs are very yellow compared to the PIAA bulbs.

Keep ya posted and hope I remember to snap some shots when I come in

Rain,

where did you buy - store? part number, etc.?
 
I've got PIAA's all the way around up front, they are much brighter especially the fogs. Do a search on Ebay you can save a little there.
