Sylvania's website says it's available at Pepboys too, but it will vary upon location of course. :thumbup:

Does anyone know how to remove the headlight assembly and do I have to heat it up to open it????

Any help is appreciated.

Yes you will have to heat it up to open it. On 5th. Gen. Headlights I used 350 Degrees for 5 Minutes

That's what I was afraid of. Guess I will take a pic tomorrow and get your opinion. From a distance, they look the same. but on a wall or garage door, they look a little different.

Thanks for your help!!

Also, I will take a picture of my home made homelink. I have a momentary switch in one blank accessory cover that is wired to my garage door opener. I hid it under the dash and it works great.

Email Sylvania, they are very willing to take the bulbs back, as they say they are still so new they want to work all the bugs out of them, so getting the blown bulbs back helps them evaluate things.

looks to me like the bulbs may burn too hot?

i have some very slight rainbow coloration like that on my headlights, i noticed it when i painted them, but i was looking very closely, and i doubt i could even see it without taking the housings apart...
