I got some Sylvania Cool Blue's for free and I tried installing them earlier. I was trying to get the halogen low beams out, but they seemed to be stuck. I tried to take out the high beams, and it was a piece of cake. For those of you that have changed your low beams on 1st gen., why are mine being STUCK?

 

Perhaps you're twisting the bulb holder in the wrong direction? The bulb should pop out easily.

 

Nah. I was twisting it the right way... and I also twisted it both ways to make sure. It was still STUCK either way. Argh. =/

 

you know they turn different direction than the highbeams right?

try pushing the bulb in further when you turn

 

Well I twisted it both ways and it didn't come out. When I twisted one way, the bulb move slightly, but not enough for it to come out. I guess I can try to push it in then twist.

 

mine were stuck kinda like yours, so i just twisted it with all my might becus it was going to throw away the old bulbs anyways. try that. and if it doesnt work then you can take out the whole headlight to get a good look becus thats pretty simple to do

 

I finally changed them, but I had to take out the whole headlight unit to get the leverage to take the bulbs out. Thanks to all for your help.

 

Glad to hear it worked out OK. Now how about showing some pics of the Sylvania Cool Blues on your ES?

 

I'll take pics tomorrow. I would do it tonight, but I'm too tired now.

 

Hey, I have cool blues for highs... They are a little brighter than stock halogens, other than that, they are yellow. lol. You get what you pay for.

 

Haha. Got them for free. My friend w/ '02 Civic got 9006 instead of 9003.

So... instead of returning them, he gave them to me and he went out to get the 9003's.

 

oh, then that's a SCOREEEEEE! Free is always good.

 

p.s. while i use blue lights myself til i get my HIDS back in my audi, you do realize that 55w blue bulbs are gonna be not as bright as yellow right???? i left my brights yellow back when i had the lex, no oncoming cars saw them anyway, and they were way brighter

 

Cool blues aren't blue at all......They are just a brighter, slightly less yellow.......yellow.

 

oh, i thought you mean the whiteish lights, such as eurolights or any of those other "blue" "HID look" lights
