First of all, if you just bought bulbs and not some kind of HID conversion kit, your bulbs probably won't be any brighter unless you went to a higher wattage.

Higher wattage can fry your wiring... not a good idea.

If it's just some aftermarket bulb that's the correct wattage, it may be a little bit whiter in appearance due to the blue tint of the bulb, which filters out yellow. (It will probably not be any brighter though)

Basically you have to take off the front wheel, unscrew a few key places on the fender liner, then peel back the liner. You will see a white disc-shaped thing... unscrew it and you will have full access to your headlights.

If you search the forums, you will find more info.

Send the bulbs back and wait for the 2006 headlights. They are the hottest and I'm sure everyone will be going after those.

Good Luck!

Incorrect, high-output bulbs can emit 50% more light without consuming more current.
