My damn left low beam keeps turning off. I am able to get it to re-spark by turning the switch off-on. Sometimes it will stay lit for the rest of the ride. You think it is the bulb or ballast? I was hoping to find some sort of instructions so I can swap the bulbs from the from left/right to right/left so I can see if it's the ballast or not. Hwo do I do this?
BTW... forum search sucks or I suck at searching. Wasn't there a damn FAQ on this at some point?

You're on the right track, like you said, swap the left and right bulbs and see if the problem remains. If it does, you know its the ballast if it doesnt and the problem starts happening on the other side, then you know its the bulb.

To change your headlights, its easy. All you need is a Torqe 10 or 8 Screw Driver I think, but a very small philips or flat head will also do. There will be 2 circular mounds behind the Headlight Casing in the engine bay. On these circular mounds you will have one torque screw that needs to come off. But before you ocan get in there, you must take the plastic cover that lines the front of your engine off, by removing the clips and pulling that plastic piece off. This will expose those 2 screws and you shoudl unscrew them and then pretty much turn the mounds in a coutner clockwise direction, and the mounds/caps will twist off, exposing the bubls. You might need to put a lot of force into this step, cuz I did.

Good Luck..

Not to be picky but it's called a Torx head, not Torque.
