You don't need to take off your front bumper, they come out from under the hood.

You can get them from autozone or anything. Like silverstars or phillips crystal vision, etc.

^^^ i am very pleased with the output of the silver stars. Although there not HID's they are brighter than stock, and wont melt your wiring since they draw the same voltage and current as your OEM lights

For more the color though the Eurolite Crystal's and Fusions are good. They have more blue than the silverstars and arn't really any worse than stock. Not a lot brighter though. Nokya also makes some that are really blue but when I tried them I couldn't see anything with them so I took them out after 2 days of use. They did look good though.

Pretty much, I broke my brackets to get my stock headlights out. It isn't hard to get the bumper off. Take off the grill, a couple plastic screws on top and below, and screws where the bumper cover meets the fender. I have probably taken my front bumper cover off 10 times, many working alone (easy).

Oh and you take the front bumper off to change the actual headlight housing but for the bulbs you don't have to take the bumper off.

I tried the 4000k Xtreme White from PIAA's, honest I think it looks exactly like the Silverstars. It is very expensive, but PIAA's last a long time (I use to touch the bulb all the time) and they run at lower wattage 51 watts, instead of the 55 watts.

PIAA's don't last as long as regular bulbs, but last longer than most of the colored-bulb crap. Are they worth the money? IMO, not really.

From what I've seen/heard, Silverstars are a hit or miss when it comes to how long they'll last. For some people they last 3 months, and for other people they last a couple years.
