I'll prob do that.

It'll give me some time to rub my hands n arms to get back some circulation after putting them thru the "Coke bottle thru a eye of a needle" thing it takes to replace one bulb LOL.
I coulda took some time and made more room to manuvuer within the inner fender (only removed the one screw and bottom 2 pop in plugs,and just kicked the front tire outward at the front) But after the first time doing it, it does take less time for the future replacements.
(I found that if you shine a flashlight at the front of the headlight,lighting up the bulb hole opening, you can see your progress better and if the bulb is anywhere near where it's supposed to be heading )

Well for a hi/low 55w set it's $170 and then another $110 for a 55w fog light set, currently $180 sounds better than $280

The only difference I could tell between the PIAA's and the Silverstar's was the shade of light the PIAA's put out. They had more of a blue tint to them where the Silverstar's had a bright white light.

I installed the Phillip Xtreme late last summer. I like it. But as pointed out above, since it's brighter, the area not illuminated appears darker.

And I had huge problems of putting them on, actually the left one was not completely turned to the lockup position. How can the design my HHR like that?
