ok - there are the two bolts on top - then you have to pop out the front grill -there are another 3 bolts on the middle of the car side of the headlight. then you have to unclip the indicator because there are three screws on that side - then you just have to jiggle it out - mongrel job to do!!
the indicator is held in with a spring only so that just falls out - any issue let me know!

especially the one behind the battery!!! the one near the washer bottle - you just take out the washer bottle ad it is easy - but the battery side - that is a pig!!

Heh i changed mine out the other night.
THinking it was going to be easy.. Anyhow.. 45 minutes later at 8.50pm i finally had them back in.
I took the battery and the washer bottle out.. Made things piss easy.. (this is after spending 20 mins trying to make my hands bend in ways they arent meant to!

The car never lets me go cleanly.. I always get dirty and get a cut somehow.. always!

H1 and H7 Premium Xenon Halogen Osram globes - 50% Brighter (white light)
For all 4 it will cost you roughly $70..

Dunno why mitsu didnt put the battery and washer bottle up the back of somewhere, there is plenty of room... then it wouldnt be so hard to change the globes

Wait on!! Hold ur horses!! That sounds like common sense to me. Since when has any car manufacturer had any common sense?

The reason the battery is up front is to keep it a bit cooler to allow it to last a bit longer, wahser bottle is also accessable as up back it would be hard to fill.
