What # do I need? When I go to order them there are different letters and numbers... I have a '98 sport

edit: nevermind I'm not getting them, I read you have to take the entire grille off to replace the headlights

ok, if your replacing the headlight bulbs you dont have to take the grill off. And the BULB part number is 9007.
 






Why are you ordering them? Any automotive store should have them.
 






Google is a good thing. So is www.sylvania.com. They have a superb automotive bulb application tool there that many non-Sylvania websites often link to.

Nope. Just if you're trying to get the headlight assembly out. The bulbs themselves can be replaced with the assembly AND grille in place.
 






Can someone refer me to an auto shop that does have them... Discount Auto Parts doesnt carry many of them. I saw ONE bulb made by Silvania.....
 






i went to autozone, and they had normal halogen ones and cool blue ones, but the didn't have the silverstar ones, so I'm going to order some tonight
 






Have a Schucks? They've got them.. Napa and Pepboys have them, Wal Mart may even have them.
 






I just ordered a pair of 9007 silverstars on ebay for $28.99 with free shipping.

nope, don't have any of those, walmart only has those cheap $1 ones
 






so when I get them how do I get the current bulb out and put these in?

I know how to get the head light cover off just how do I take out the actually bulb and put this one in
 






Replacing the lights.

From what I could gather on the light replacement, You have to move the battery back some and hell, i forgot about the other side, but there are acess holes behind the lights that you can pull the bulbs out through. Or if you have small hands like me, You can go between the sheetmetal of the body and the headlight assemblies.
