Default Ebay Headlights

DAY 1: I get the lights, pop the hood and i see where the lights go, but the spot is inaccessible.. i go under the car and still see where to change the bulb but now theres a big black bar blocking my access.. so im like k ill take it to the dealer to install tomm..
Day 2: I go to the dealer after school and he starts filling in a serivce order and stuff, im like are you going to charge me to do something as simple as this, should be simple for them... but anyways he was like yeh.. 45$, i was like WHAAT, that much just to change a pair of headlights...so i told him k ill just go to ABC or AutoZone to help me do it..
So i spend about an hour going around town for a Bigger screwdriver so i can do it myself, or letting a guy at an Autoshop do it for me for free. I end up finding a Drill bit extender for the TORX screwhead i had at home after about an hour, so i went home and changed it eventually.. Price: Free + about 3$ Gas, and 30Minutes of work figuring out how the Light Frame is put in place.

i was looking at those also, did you lose your low/high switchability? and if so, is the intensity closer to low or high? thanks

...what...I'm confused. Did he just change the bulbs?

I just put the Silverstars in last Friday and all I had to do was reach up from underneath the bumper and twist til' the guides unlocked and pull out.

You could have skipped steps 1 and 2.

Question

How do you access the headlight bulbs?
