Is it easier to go through the inner fender plastic or through under the hood?

Follow the manual, it tells you the easiest way. With my EX (not sure if it's same on the Si) you have to pop out the collant resovoir in order to get to the bulb.

The high beams are MUCH easier to change then the low beams, I just did both yesterday.

why would you go with the fender??? I wouldn't bother my fender for high beams. its not ur front turn signal bulbs. just pop up ur hood and do it.

On my Si coupe, the passenger side high beam is the easiest of all four bulbs to get at. Nothing to remove, nothing to go through.

The high beam on the driver's side requires you to remove the coolant resevoir (super easy), and then its a cake walk to put the driver's side high beam on. Then you need to put the coolant tank back in its holder, which is ridiculously difficult and will probably elicit many cuss words.

The low beams are super easy if you have small arms and hands, you take a screw out of the inner fender walls (turning your tires right (for driver's side) and left (for pass. side) makes it much easier.

if it wasn't so damn necessary I was about to rip that resevoir out and throw it into the street. That was easily the hardest part of installing high beams, haha

Agreed... that coolant reservoir is the biggest piece of crap ever. I wanted to take out a rifle and shoot that thing when I couldn't get it back in.

LOL great, i cant wait. I did the lowbeams through the fender as was able to get both arms in there with only taking one plastic screw out.
