Holy crap, I was really drunk when I posted that, just got home from the strip club... i'll post pics tonight after dark.
During the day, after I installed them, I didn't notice much of a difference in the look. But once it was dark, very apparent.
The owner's manual blows when it comes to showing how to replace these bulbs.
For the headlamps, I had to contort/jam my one hand down to the bulb (not very easy on the passenger side) and then push the tab with all my might with the head of a screwdriver. Once that was off, no problems.
For the foglamps, you're best off jacking the car up. I really don't think there'd be enough room under there if you didn't. You've got to remove all these clips, to remove the underpanelling. Then you've got to remove these 3 tiny screws and then under this assembly to get the bulb out but be careful not to use too small of a screwdriver or hello stripped city. I've got to find a replacement for one of them... To get the bulb's clip apart, I actually had to use 2 needle-nose pliers (and punched myself in the face after they popped apart). As always, they didn't go back together the same way as they came apart... but everything is together, sealed and looks great.

Hey moving, I had the same super-force problem replacing the drivers' bulb......took a LOT of grunt to move the ****ing tab! Also, on the passengers' side, it was tricky to not touch the bulb to anything when weaving it through the tangled web of wires (and windshield washer refill thing) without smashing it! 
lol. I imagine you had the same issues?

I didnt have much of a problem changing the headlight bulbs, it's just a matter of finding the right angle to fit your hand in, and you can pull the windshield washer fluid reservoir out of the way. I havent done the foglamps yet, I bet those are gonna be fun though.
