Ok I feel really stupid for asking this question. I just got my CL a week ago. The problem is that the factory manual is missing, it didn't come with the car. I need to change the headlight bulb but I'm having trouble getting the bulb out. I've been able to change lightbulbs for every other car i've had but this one. There seems to be a problem getting it out. Can someone help with this one? Also, do any of you guys have an extra manual for sale?

Oh yea, forgot to mention I have a 97 CL.

ok, its that same for the highs and lows, look at the back of your headlight and you see a plug coming out of it, you twist it 90 degrees i think to the left and it should pop loose, its not that hard, twist and pull out, and thats what she said but anyways make sure if you install aftermarket blue bulbs they do not last long and you can get tickets for them and also dont touch the blue outside of them it will smear them up and cause blurring light or supposedly thats what i have heard

Yea, that's what I thought you had to do but I twist it like 45 degrees to the left and then it doesn't want to go any farther.

Plus mine was kinda hard to do also. I had to really twist it hard. I guess all those years of non usage.

if you touch the glass on the bulb it will burnout quick like (one week) cause the grease on your fingers cause hot sopts on it. thats just me bein a nerd though

thats true wilp it does, so make sure you use glove when you do or if you accidently touch one wipe it with a clean microfiber cloth, one microfiber so you dont scratch the glass either
