mehn, aint that the truth. I tried switching my city (corner front) lights last night, no luck. I might just take off a small part of the wheel well, and reach straight up.

You really do need a small, small set of hands to get in there. Or else, its super tight, painful and time consuming.

I actually just used a pair of pliers to reach it when I couldn't seem to get it with just my hands. Works pretty well, just don't squeeze too hard or you can break the plastic!

I'll remember that for next time  ;)

Thanks for this guide. I changed my low-beam bulbs with Sylvania SilverStar Ultra (4100 K) bulbs and they look quite good.

Now, since I'm trying to not use HIDs, anyone knows where to find a 9005/9006 5000 K halogen white bulb? Anyone has installed one of those in your Lancer? Pics?
