Thanks! Removing the bumper is the only wat to get to the headlights. You can get to the blinkers and fogs through the engine bay but it is tight!

The bulb is 9012 or if you plan to upgrade to HID it is D2S

Yeah pretty much any bulb from a local retailer will suck at this point. LED's, at least good ones have not caught onto mainstream yet. I get all my bulbs from http://www.autolumination.com. The ones I have are called switchbacks, the light up wht but blink amber, here's a vid:

how did u get them to flash normal and not quickflash

You have to install load resistors. The load resistor simulates the resistance of the incandescent bulb and restores the turn signal to normal operating function with the led.

There are 2 screws on either side in front of the wheel (see diagram) They screw up into the fender. The you have to remove the front clips holding the grill on. There are also clips underneath on the splash guard but the bumper will drop, if you want to completely remove the bumper then take these out as well...

Does anybody make a 9012 HID kit yet? Sorry off topic

[kzoosho]

U know they make led flashers also to take care of hyper flash.
