Tips for headlight bulb swap?
Hey guys -
I've got an '02 TL-S & I'm about to swap out my low beam bulbs, was looking for a writeup from someone that has done it, this is my first try at swapping them and they are too damn expensive for me to fuck up. So any help would be appreciated. Plus the high voltage scares the bejesus out of me.
Also, a DIY for any CAI install on a Type-S would be appreciated. I've done several CAIs in the past, but I just want to be sure there are no surprises.
BTW: I've searched the hell out of the forum, with no luck.
Thanks!

You'll want to take off the air box to do that bulb, it makes it much easier.
Like he said just dont touch the bulb, use a rag or gloves to hold them.
If your car is OFF, then dont worry at all about the high voltage!
Good luck

the CAI is very straight forward. Especially if you have done it before. Taking the front bumper off first really helps
