at least you have a better idea of whats there now bro!

so were you even able to get the dust cap off the passenger side?
where did the air filter box stop you at?

hey bro

have you seen this video before?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLeB0...eature=related

at the beginning the guy pops out the passenger side dust cap for the low beams
when he does it, you can actually see the dust cap for the DRLs right in front of him with the same metal clip that you have to push to the side to release the dust cap

this is the 2nd part of the video, you can find the first part and they'll show you how to remove the air filter box

if you're simply trying to swap out either the parking/city light or the highbeam, you don't need to remove the air filter or disconnect the battery. there are instructions in the manual, it's a simple bulb swap.

hey big~ Synetix pointed out in my other thread that i shouldn't use the krypton series as it'll give off an extreme amount of heat when using high beams
and at times, since i'm driving on rural roads, my high beams may be on for a few mins.. don't wanna risk burning anything in the car

now i'm gonna do a bit more research on the ultra violet color before buying the JDM yellow!

seriously! are there no IS on this forum with the ultra violet color bulb as DRLs??
please post a pic! even if its to find out that the violet bulb is really just stock yellow when running in DRL!
