spazzkid::: Mahihirapan ka sa driver side headlight, masikip ang pwesto. Yung sa passenger side tatanggalin mo lang yung water reservoir lusot kamay na. Pero I'd be extra careful kung di mo kabisado yung lock ng headlight bulbs. Delikado hawakan ang lens nito at baka magasgasan. Pratice ka muna sa parklights, di maselan ang bulbs nito. All you have to do is remove the whole park light housing to be able to reach behind it. 10mm turn to your left will unlock the bulb. Yung sa signal light naman ganun din ang turn, wag ka matataranta pag ayaw sumindi ang ilaw. Peanut bulbs have positive and negative contacts, babaliktarin mo lang ayus na. :D

pareng ungas, salamat ng marami pre. i will keep your suggestions in mind. one last questions. if i want a brighter and whiter light, what voltages/wattage/amperage should i get? also, what are good brands that are a bit cheap. salamat ulet mga pre.:mrgreen:

i suggest you stick to stock colored bulbs. super white bulbs have very poor visibility when its raining, delekado lalo na't rainy season na.

i used to have philips diamaster headlight bulbs. same input of 55w/60w pero output is 100w/110w. be sure to have a relay kit installed as well as thicker wires to accomodate the higher output. i now use philips all weather bulbs with stock wattage kasi pundi na diamaster ko. lifespan nung ginamit ko was about 1-1.5 yrs i think.

good luck!

Hmm.. Voltage should still remain in 12V, if you can still source for the old Flosser 135/110W bulbs the better, but I doubt if auto accessories shop still carry these stuff. As the guys always post, never forget to change all the headlight wirings additional relay and a cearmic socket. IMO, cheaper bulbs will only last 6 monts to a year. But the PIAA brand will cost you much more, there are Raybrig bulbs that are cheaper priced but be also aware for some fake ones. Many users have attested to stick with an all-weather bulb (yellowish color) for better visibility during downpours.

For the brighter and whiter light, I would normally suggest an HID kit which will cost you about 20-30thou. But then again you requested for a more cheaper option. :D
