Smile Got rid of the egg yokes...
Finally got a few minutes this afternoon to clean up the egg yokes in the headlights.
...with thanks to those that posted the method of removing the air filter boxes to get at them.
Worked like a charm.

The bulbs. (silvers were still in plastic, that's why it looks a little strange.


Before, with egg yoke:


& after w/o

OK...sorry for the stupid question, but I'm not all that great at taking things apart...especially with a new car. Can you take a few pictures and highlight what needs to be unscrewed or taken off to replace those bulbs? I don't like the orange bulbs either. I opened the hood and saw the air filter boxes and it looks like there's only 1 screw to remove?? Once that is removed, how do you remove the box to get to the lights? Please help =(

There are several posts about removin the airbox and I think they have pictures. But i'll write something real quick. You also need to unscrew the part the airbox is attached to the rubber tube. The remove the sensors and just pull the airbox out.

Is it really that difficult? When you start talking about sensors...it makes me a little nervous...LOL. I'm more of a visual person, so pictures are more ideal. I did see some of the posts but without pictures, it can get messy. Remember...I'm a noob at all this

Thank you so much. I would greatly appreciate that. I'm sorry...I just don't have enough confidence to start tearing things apart, but I greatly appreciate your efforts in helping me out
