Default Light Bulb blew..where to get a light bulb for 1 piece headlights. ( just stock ones nothing fancy)

My light bulb died on me. I need both h1 and h4. I was wondering where to buy them at. I don't need anything fancy. Just stock ones like the ones you would buy at honda for usdm headlights. I dont want that hyper white, hyper blue stuff. Just plain oem. Also i was wondering how to take off the light bulb. It's different and it is not like the usdm where you turn and pull out. All answeres are appreciated. Thanks.

Kragen/Autozone should have some OEM-style Sylvannias for about $10 a pop

Removing the bulb is pretty much self explanitory. Remove the black clip on the back of the rubber circular thingy. Pull the circular thingy out and set it aside. Don't set it on the engine or anything hot, because that would be dumb. Move the clip that holds the bulb in place out of the way, remove the bulb, replace with new bulb (being sure not to touch the bulb itself, only the metal base), and reinstall the clip. Replace the rubber circle, which should still be unmelted because you remembered to not put it on the engine. Replace the black connector for the bulb and you're done.

And in case you're wondering...yeah, I slightly melted one of those rubber things on my 1-pieces.

Sylvanias are good. You don't have to worry about melting anything unless you put the rubber part on top of something hot. Put it in your pocket or something instead. Other than that you'll be fine. It's pretty self explanitory. If you're still having problems i'll take a picture later.
