Try www.hmaservice.com. Registration is free. It may take awhile to find it, but there are some basic repair procedures listed for most of the parts.

Here's the 2009/2010 manual. It may be of some use since the body is basically the same. BODY ELECTRICAL section page BE-745 starts the section on removal of the headlamp assembly and bulb changing.

You know that switching to a 6000k bulb will diminish your light output (you wont see as far down the road)....the color output is blue.

In application, the Kelvin temperature of lamps is used to categorize them as warm, neutral or cool sources. The terms are not directly related to temperature; instead, they describe how the light source appears visually. Warm sources actually have a lower color temperature (3500K or less), producing a red-yellow appearance. Neutral sources (between 3500K and 4100K) tend to have a yellow appearance. A lamp with a color temperature of 5000K is considered pure white light (Full Spectrum) with the lamp becoming more blue in color as the color temperature is increased.

I will be in the same boat soon. IMHO 5000K is the best for projector headlights. The most output (close to the most...debatable) and the best color combo out there.

Same here, it seems 5000k is the best choice. It should improve overall output/quality of light and help you see a bit further down the road. I will pay my dealer to install them, the tech at my dealership has approval from the service manager to put them in at a cost of $75 which is worth it not to mess around and have them correctly aligned. I picked the SYLVANIA SILVERSTAR D1S 5000K ($89/each on Amazon), didn't want to get cheaply made lights that may project the beam incorrectly. According to Sylvania these bulbs should give another 20 meters of useable light, it doesn't sound like much but that's about 1-1.5 seconds more reaction time.

know that i think of it seems like it is a pain too change those damn lights myself and i may not get as much light output out of those 6k bulbs i might as well just stick with my stock bulbs for know. If i do decide too change my bulbs in the future il just take it too a local dealer with a 5k bulb spend a few extra bux and get them too deal with it dont want to end up breaking anything.

Agreed that 5K is the highest Kelvin I would personally go with. While 6K looks the best without being too "ricey", the light output suffers a bit. OEM is 4,300K, so I don't believe another 700K higher on the scale will affect anything too much.

Here's the bulbs I will most likely get in the future:

Just wondering if you did get the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs, and if so, were they any brighter than the OEM bulbs?

Also, do you know if there is any difference between the Sylvania Silverstar HID bulbs and the newish Osram Silverstar Xenarc bulbs?

Oem is 4300k... that explains it. I thought it was 5000k

Thank you, stock lights too yellow for my taste will upgrade to 5k ish

I think my bmw was 5k stock... might be wong on that too, however the lens on the bmw made it appear more white then the hyundai

Ppp

Yes. The cut off shield distance from the bulb inside the projector can actually alter the color of the cut off line that is projected.
