New headlight bulbs

Finally, after 2 months of driving with only the driver side headlight on, i finally ordered a set of phillips 85122's.

During the installation, I opted not to take off the bumper because i wanted to avoid as much of those plastic tabs as possible.

For the passenger side I did everything through the fender well. For the driver's side, I did the disassembling through the fender well but was able to install the actual bulb by taking out the battery and squeezing through the top area.





high beam


as far as light output and visibility, these are definitely better than the original osram bulbs. right now the bulbs seems to have a very slight yellow tint, i hope they turn a little bit blue like how the osrams were
