You really have to detach and displace the aircon compressor (you don't have to disconnect the hoses) to access the front 4 plugs, and also remove the throttle pedestal to access the rear plugs. Although you may be able to get the old plugs out without doing this, it's very difficult to get new ones in without cross-threading them. Chris, kwecars.com

There are about 20 of them...any in particular?

any good multi grade oil will work fine.

Remove the plastic access panel in front of the front wheel (not the whole splashguard). You'll then see the headlamp connector. Squeaze and lift off the locking wire and the bulb will come out. Chris, www.kwecars.com
