Yes you will need gloves. Oil from the skin can burn out lamps.

@1mirarmar1 you don't need gloves as long as you don't touch the glass part of the new bulb which cost around 130 dollars for a pair at pepboys....o boy

I purchased some PIAA laps off Ebay for $40.00 and they are till working strong since I made this movie. Gloves or no gloves your choice. I am sure there are other way to replace the lamps. I will try a different way next time.

For anyone who is interested. I found step by step instruction for removing the bumper on the web site priuschat my-hid-bulb-replacement-my-06-­prius.

Do not go through this process of removing the bumper and headlights. Refer to your manual or other YouTube videos showing how to change the bulbs in much less than an hour with the headlights remaining in the car.

i hate cars that require bumper removal to do something as little as change a bulb. Most of the japanese do that nowadays, not sure why. I guess it does make it harder for a thief to steal the housing though....

please don't take anything apart except the fusebox holder.....lol

[mazetronic]

you don't have to do all this work........you only have to remove the fuse cover on the drivers side....o boy

@TheSmartdude11 You don't really. The idea is that you shouldn't touch the glass ever - with or without gloves. Gloves give you a sense of safety that isn't really there... you're protecting the bulbs from yourself, and greese can still be on the gloves. So basically just don't touch the bulb.
