Default Changing Lightbulbs?

Does anybody have instructions on how to change the Headlight bulbs on the 6th gen? Also, on ebay they have HID lights like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rav4-...ht_2440wt_1165

Would these just fit right in, in place of the originals?

thanks!

I wouldn't mess with HID Lights, they are illegal when not in a projector. (no they don't make projectors for our cars)

Changing your lights is very easy.

Pop the hood, and look at the headlight assembly. There are 2 plastic clips (white) that you pull straight up, and then slide them out and off (you'll see) Then you disconnect the power plug (just lift the tab and pull out) and then the whole headlight assembly will be in your hands.

Using gloves!!!!!!!! take the plastic backs off, and the bulbs sockets will be visible. Just twist 45° and pull out, replace plug, reverse to put back in.
