Can someone point me in the right direction on how to change our headlight bulbs?
I got a set of silverstar H13 and cant find anything that instructs me on how to change the stock bubs out. I would imagine its easy but just wantr to make sure

Yeah, it's really easy. Here's a link to a service manual: http://www.onlinefreeebooks.net/auto...anual-pdf.html

Its very straight forward. Simply find where the bulb is, and it should have only one way of turning the socket to get the old bulb out.

Replacing headlamp bulbs. As per the owners manual page 53.
To remove the headlamp bulb:
1.Make sure headlamp switch is in the off position, then open the hood.
2.Disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb by depressing the retainer clip and pulling rearward.
3.Remove the bulb by rotating it counterclockwise and pulling it straight out.
4.Install the new bulb in reverse order.

Be absolutely sure you do not touch the new bulb with your bare fingers. The oil on your skin can cause the bulb to burn out within minutes. Latex gloves are good, as long as you are not allergic to latex. If you have gotten some oil or other substance on the new bulb, clean it with alcohol before installation.
