Thanks sh0rtlife,

Is this the bulb you're recommending Sylvania 9003 SilverStar Auto Halogen Headlight Bulb, Pack of 2? It is sold at Walmart and apparently you can get free installation there. (I'm not really sure I trust them to do the installation, but it is cold and rainy here, and I do not have a garage, so it is awfully tempting to let them do it.)

I think I have read (or seen) on the internet that the driver's side headlight bulb is easier to replace than the passenger side bulb.

Any more comments from anybody will be welcomed.

Thanks,

R.

I think what you mean by "CAI" sh0rtlife is "Canadian Import" correct? My car was manufactured in Canada, but I bought it new in the United States at a Toyota Dealer; it is a ("3 door") Hatchback.

QUESTION: Does anybody think I can change the headlight bulbs in my hatchback easily, e.g., without loosening or taking the front bumper guards off?

Thank you,

R.
