Need help - High beams replacement
Ok guys. I took a look and it doesn't look like an easy task. Do I have to remove the coolant tank in order to replace my high beams bulbs? Second, Am I correct assuming that the whole thing (bulb) is held by those 3 screws?

Yes....It's better to take out the coolant tank.. You just pull it out and set it aside. You don't have to take it out whole thing..
Yes... High beam bulb is held by those 3 screws. But you're not thinking about un-screw that screws... You just turn it counter-clock wise....

pianoman is right.. but you really don't have to loosen anything.. The coolant reservoir tank is held by braket, and the tank will easily come off if you pull it towards up.

Thanks guys, I will attempt to do it after work. Hey, this is my first mod to my car.... damn how cheesy.... you guys start with headers, intakes and I'm changing bulbs...

Hey man that's all I have on mine
and you see in my sig what I'm planning! You don't have to do too much...just pull up on the tank and it comes out...then just replace your bulbs. Make sure to remove the wire harness first so you don't have to touch the bulb (baaaaad for halogens) when you pull it out. Then twist and pull...attach the wires to the new bulbs and stick them in there (so you don't have to try to reconnect them in there). The only annoyance I encountered is that it's a total b!tch to put the coolant tank back down in its slot...took me forever.
