Headlight bulbs

Quick question, anyone know what the part number is for our headlight bulb? 9004, 9006, h1, h2, etc? Was thinking of changing the bulbs myself. I got the stock hallogens in right now, was thinking of getting some xenon hallogens.

Just curious, has anyone tried instaling xenon bulbs by themselves. In the owner's manual is says explicitly not to install it yourself or you might get electricuted lol. I was thinking of installing some xenon bulbs myself and was wondering if anyone else was brave enough to try it. :D

It's more about discharging the system.

If you get xenon's with ballasts, they will come with detailed instructions.

The owners manual cautions it, but that's for the average joe that does know about the ballasts and the high discharge potential.

You could kill yourself if you are not careful!
