    Low Beam Light Replacement

    Hello All,

    Today one of my low beams stopped working. If I do not have projectors in my headlights, what type of bulb do I need to order? I am currently looking at Osram Nightbreaker 55w for this replacement, as I've had a good experience with them on my Lexus. Moreover, how can the lights be replaced? The lights didn't seem very accessible.

    Thank You.

    EDIT: The low beams are H7's. How can the lights in the passenger's side be accessed?

    Should be able to remove the snorkel leading to the aircleaner and everything would be accessible from there; don't have halogen headlights so don't know how much room is actually behind the housing to replace H7 bulbs.

    It's quite simple. Remove the snorkel for the air intake. Then remove the rear cap to the halogen housing. You will see a metal clip holding the bulb into the socket. Squeeze the clip and slid it off (should swing upwards). You can then pull the bulb out, unplug, and replace.

    Hope that helps.
