So, I bought some Xenon-filled Halogen bulbs off Ebay. Why? Apparently because I'm a big dork. Whatever, I was bored, didn't know how to change headlights, and hated those dim fucks anyway. Speaking of those dim fucks, here's a picture of them. Notice how yellow they are? That equals poo. Let's see if we can change that.

In this picture you can see the back of the headlight housing. I've labeled where each headlight is gonna be pulled out and which are the high and low beams. Make sure you don't get them mixed up, ya dork. The lights labeled 9006 are the low beams and are to the outside edges of the car. The high beams, labeled 9005, are more medial.

Now, to change each bulb, twist the thing sticking out of the back of the headlight housing (circled in the previous picture) away from the midline of the car and carefully pull out the light and wiring. It will be fairly obvious how to detach the bulb assembly from the plug and wires. This picture shows what the light and plug look like when they're separated. Now, make sure the new bulb you're sticking in is labeled on the plastic with the same numbers (9006 or 9005) as the one you just removed. Plug the new bulb in (making sure it clicks), stick it back in the hole in the headlight assembly, make sure all the proper pieces and notches are lined up, and twist the bulb backing and plug towards the midline of the car.

After repeating this process four times (or two if you only bought highs or lows), you should have something looking like this. Notice the difference in color. Here is a picture of the lights at night. Much better.
