Like mspell said, the instructions are in the owner's manual so let us know if you don't have one.

Also, several of us have used the Silverstar lamps (size H7 as mentioned before) and they give a brighter/whiter light. About $20 ea or $32 for a set of two at most auto shops or Walmart.

Hi,

John, if memory serves me, (and it may not), I believe it's a 7mm tool he'll need. I just use a Nut Driver, the mechanism isn't set that hard and the Nut Driver is easier to use.

I looked it up on AllData, but there could be different sizes for different years. The nut driver is a fantastic idea. Something like that doesn't work for me because I like to make things much harder than they really are. ROFL

You may want to just go ahead and get a good set of metric sockets if you plan to do any DIY maintenance. There are many different sizes used, but thank God they are all metric (unlike the American cars that are half and half ) Two other tools often used are Allen and Torx wrenches.

John,

Thanks! I am basically a cheapskate when it comes to tools insofar as I hate to pay for a tool which merely duplicates the function of another tool I already own.

But, in the case of the Nut Drivers, they have proved invaluable and I kick myself for not getting a set much sooner than I did.

I bought this set from Sears: http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00934555000&bidsite=CRAFT for under $25, but have gotten many times the $25 worth of value from them.

You put together a nice basic set of tools for the lister, but I'd also have to recommend a set of these.

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99

To All that replied back, THANKS I just replaced the bulb, H7. I followed my owners manual and used a "5 mm socket" A MUST!
Not bad for a women :dance:

That's kind of a sexist remark...isn't it!
