I just did this and it's relatively easy, once you remove the 4 bolts that hold the headlight assembly into the chassis frame.. .For example, to remove the left front headlight;. .It takes a 9006 low beam bulb, OEM is 51 watts If you buy a halogen upgrade, it will be a 55 watt bulb I do not know if you can put a super xenon bulb in there, it may harm the harness, I do not know so do not rely on me for that.... .Lift the hood Get a socket head wrench and some SAE (standard) sockets. Find the socket that fits the bolt head just above the headlight. I think it is a 3/8's or slightly larger.. .There are 4 bolts screwed through the frame into the top of the headlamp assembly. The bolts on each end of the headlight are longer and go all the way through the assembly to align it properly.. .Lay each bolt out, on the ground in the order you removed them. The middle two bolts are short, maybe 1 " and the ends are closer to 3.5" long.. .Once the bolts are out, slide the headlight assembly forward. There are two bulbs, a high and low beam. The low beam bulb is to the outside of the car, or drivers side on the left, farthest to the passenger side on the right.. .Most of the time the low beam will burn out since it's used 90% of the time.. .The bulb has a right angle fitting with a wiring harness attached. With your hand or a channel lock pair of pliers, gradually rotate the light bulb base counter clockwise until the unit is loose in the socket holder.. .Disconnect the bulb from the wiring harness and replace it with the new bulb.. .Reverse the process and turn on the headlights to check you have the bulb harness properly attached before finishing up the reassembly of the 4 bolts.. .Your bulb alignment with the ground should not have changed from this work. Have fun...not difficult. Takes about 10 minutes per bulb.
I'm recycling my energy saving light bulb. It doesn't work, but don't you think most people just toss them? ?
The great thing about modern landfills are they have been around since the 70's and they are designed to keep everything from leaching into the ground at least for a while. At minimum they are lined with a thick layer of plastic and many also have a layer of clay. The bad thing is fluorescent lights have been in use since the 60's and few people were aware that they contained mercury until recently. So, millions of bulbs containing mercury are in our landfills and some will leach into our soil and water. The good news is more information is getting out and cities are making it easier to dispose of the bulbs properly.
Can someone please tell me which light bulb I need for the map light in my 2001 Mitsubishi Galant ES 2.4L.I can't seem to find out what size?

None. Since He's omnipotent, it's just as easy for Him to create a light socket with a light bulb already in place

What CFL bulb mimics the color of incandescent bulbs. I dont want that white white white light look ?
Wow you want to get discovered. "smooth white" is a colour tone. all kinds of bulbs(incandescent, fluorescent, led) should be "smooth white" colored. If it is formed like a bulb, it is incandescent. If it is formed like a spiral, and has plastic parts, it is fluorescent
Light bulb broke in switch and shocked me when i tried to pull it out?
the first two answers are correct. try using a potato to get the piece out that's still in there after you turn the light off. jam the potato into the socket then try to screw the base of the bulb out.
