How to change headlight bulbs?
Hi! This is probably really simple but I couldn't find it in the owners manual or by searching the forums. I'm looking for step by step instructions on how to replace the bulbs on my 2002 OBS. I'm not the most mechanical person but I'm hoping this is something I can do on my own. I just got a set of Phillips Hi-Visibility bulbs and am eager to see how well they do. Any answers or advice is appreciated!
Thanks Al

it's real easy. As I recall, you just pop the hood, and then sort of jam your hand in there and at the back of the headlamp housing unscrew this black plastic round knob (remember, counterclockwise looking forward, or clockwise from your perspective! ) You should feel it unlock after giving it a good twist, and then carefully pull the bulb back out of the headlamp assembly. After that, just swap the stock bulbs for the beefier Philips.
At least... it's something like that. If I've misremembered, I'm sure someone else will chime in, or else I can actually go outside and look |

Also be sure not to touch the bulbs with your hands as the oils from them will cause the bulbs to blow.
