Help with changing the high beams

I got some Piaa high beam bulbs, & went to change them. I was a little suprised at how hard it looks. I decided I didn't have the time to mess with it. So my question is are there any instructions on how to change them? I looked in the helms & all it says is too loosen the 3 screws, & twist the bulb out. It doesn't say how to remove the items in the way of those screws, any input would help alot.
Thanks

I would do a search if it was enabled

I didn't have to remove ANY screws !? :sqnteek:

The only thing I had to remove was the Fluid reserve bottle on the Driver side and that took all of 30 seconds....

Same here. The fluid reserve took the longest to get seated back into its grooves, but that was all I had to remove. Both bulbs tooks about 3 min. total, with most of that for the fluid reserve bottle.

JasonT... it tells you in the manual how to replace the bulbs. It's a simple twist of the bulb and removal of the harness... should take no longer then 5 min. at the max.....

Ok, the helms manual is wrong! They say

"loosen the 3 screws, then rotate the bulb 45 degrees counterclockwise, & pull the bulb out"

They didn't mention anything about the removal of the coolant reaserve bottle either.

I tried it again last night, & just twisted the bulbs out, & took the bottle out(I didn't know it just slid out) & bam they are in.
