Lightbulb Somone help!

How do I replace my projector bulbs?
I have a 95 Accord. Ive been having projector headlights on her for about 2 years now. All my bulbs still work, Im just in the mood for a little change. The simplest and cheapest thing i thought of was buying new, brighter (white) bulbs!

Theres a problem though... I have no clue how to change them!
If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated!
I went to a local Import Tuner shop and they sold me H1 bulbs. I thought it would be as simple as replacing the stock bulbs. NOT!

I would start with the instructions. But seriously I dont have good resourses with the aftermarket stuff. If it is simply as easy and the same as stock and you cant do it, dont touch anything mechanical on your car. This may seem harsh and I may not understand your question completely. No intent to be rude to you.

what exactly is the problem - why can't you just "replace the stock bulbs?"

you might have to take off the bumper/ front grill to get to the lights

When you bought the bulbs they didn't come with instructions? What brand are they?
You could call the guy who sold them to you and ask if he could walk you through it?

Like i said - what exactly is the problem - can you get to the light? can you not get to the bulb itself? do you know how to remove the assembly? Is the airbox in the way?

If you already have aftermarket lights in there, then everything is installed and the wiring should be all set. Why isn't it a matter of just replacing the bulbs themselves?

You said you know enough to change stock lights but you're not giving us a lot of information beyond that. Not trying to be rude just trying to understand the problem.

Whatever you do don't touch the bulbs w/ your fingers.

Or are these some sort of "added" lights. Can you take a pic of the front of the car and point them out. Most of us are assuming you are talking about replacing the headlight bulbs.
