Greetings, I am the proud new owner of a silver Titan XE King Cab as of 8/12/04. I have purchaced 2 Sylvania Silver Star (9006 ST ) bulbs to replace the low beams. The 9005 ST bulbs are to replace the hi beams. Personally I do not use the hi beams often and at 40 bucks a set I find the existing factory hi beams sufficent. I attempted to change them today only to find my two "catcher mits for hands" would never fit in the tiny space and the assembly must be removed. Any advice on how many bolts, tools needed, us or metric, time per side etc? Note: I was advised by a family member that his Nissan mechanic mentioned that these are the best high intensity after market bulbs to use and that some of the others (Phillips 4000 Blue Light and others) have been melting the harnasses causing them to be changed. Any advice would be appreciated.
