I've changed my front 3457АK to SYLVANIA SILVERSTAR.
light is about the same as original. but it looks way more solid.

IMO, no...instructions are in your manual. You just have to get a hold of the bulb cap/handle and twist...

Some have removed the headlight to get to that bulb, but you don't have to do that....

3157 are interchangeable with 3457, we have these in the Solaris Bulbs if you need a set.

i know my front bulbs are 3457....i looked at one of the vendor sites and they didnt have those. Would a 3157 bulb work for my 3457? thanks

is it hard??? no not really....kind of annoying trying to fit your hands in such a small work area. I even have small hands and it pisses me off. So i unscrewed the 2 torx screws and pulled the light out just slightly. Just enough to have a few more inches to work with!
