you should be able to change the low beams without having to remove things. for the high beam you have to remove the radiator reserve tank. i believe this just lifts out.
if you have your owners manual handy, look on page 195

remember do not touch the bulbs or u will blow them quick like. it takes bout a month to blow but the oils on your hands will cause hot spots. if u already touched them use a dry papertowel and wipe off al the fingerprints. do not use windex or anything.

yeah I definitely was really careful with the bulbs. But I got frustrated and just bent the tab back...hopefully it's not used for anything
. But to make more space down there I took out the battery. It was pretty sweet I guess. Thanks for the help anyways guys
