Headlight bulb change- high beam

What's the procedure for changing the high beam bulbs? Can it be done with the headlights in the car or do they have to be removed. I have some Sylvania Ultra Silverstars I'd like to install.

no need to remove the headlights

either remove the wheel or turn your wheel all the way to the opposite side...remove the screws from the black plastic covering the fender, peel it back, reach your hand in and turn the ****...it should come out...then just replace the bulb and put everything back together

my method I found out to be the easiest.
jack your car up a bit. take wheel off, remove inner splash guard around fender (5 clips I believe), pull it out and towards you (rearish) and then simply turn the covers counter clockwise, remove the bulb covers, undo the clips to the bulb(s), pop it out, reinsert new ones, and reverse the process.
I can change bulbs in my car probably max is 5-10 minutes.

I had one silverstar ultra go out on me, so I sent the company an email about my disappointment and they sent me a set on two new bulbs. I only had one go out.

Also, definitly the easiest way to change light bulbs is through the wheel wells. Good luck.

Slyvania bulbs suck. They last less than 1 year and I'll never buy them again. I did some research on bulbs and Phillips bulbs are one of the top rated manufacturers along with Osram bulbs. Phillips can be found much cheaper than slyvania bulbs. G/L.
