This is about changing headlights to HIDs, but the procedure for changing the bulbs is the same. Hope it helps! http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=872743

Changing the headlight bulbs is very easy. Remove the plastic housing around the light the stick your hand behind the headlight and turn the bulb and its out. Replace the bulb them put it back in the opening then turn.

Just make sure you seat them correctly it is very easy to bend the little tabs also if you use halogen bulbs not to touch the glass....

Default changing headlights

when changing out to REvextremes or other HID lights, are they white and bright when they are beaming on the road? I noticed they are bluelike when you look at the car withthe lights on but didn't know about the way they shine on the road if white or not.
