Removing city lights
I've been planning on just changing out the city lights with some 5K to better match the headlights. I hate the yellow look.
What problems would I come across with just removing the bulb? I can't see any physical problems with that(water, etc). Are those required legally(CA for reference)?. My old G didn't have them I don't think...can I take out the bulb and just have the headlight shine unless I turn on the fogs?

Speaking out of experience: yes, you're fine with simply taking out the bulb. The bulb holders are sealed with a gasket when they're twisted back into the headlight housing, so moisture isn't an issue.
Oh, and be careful with the bulbs. The first time I messed around with the city lights, I accidentally dropped the replacement bulb (not seated into the holder well enough) into the fog light reflector. Unfortunately, I ended up having it fall into the headlight housing itself (completely out of sight). That never would have happened if I had stopped and taken my parent's car to Autozone to get a grabber tool. I'd recommend getting one. Even if you don't need it for this particular operation, it's still useful to have.

I just ordered some PIAA Xtreme White wedge bulbs 168/194 for the city lights.
I will try changing the city light bulbs from the top under the hood. I got long skinny arms and hands
I did search all the threads and read up on them regarding removing the air intake box. However, I would like to confirm that there is only one bolt holding the air intake box. I have to remove this bolt. Will also need to loosen the clamp.
Do I need to disconnect the MAF sensor from the air intake box?
Then I just need to pull up on it fairly hard to separate the air intake box?
Also, on the passenger side, how do I move the washer fluid reservoir neck out of the way? Is there a bolt or do I just pull up or twist?
Thanks.
