Question 89 300E (USA) headlamp bulb replacement

To replace the headlamp bulb - is it as simple as pulling off the old bulb and replacing with the new one?

I was thinking of using the Philips Vision Plus H4 bulb, as an earlier post recommended them. Is there a good place to purchase them?

many thanks!

The U.S. headlight bulb uses the size 9004, not H4 like the rest of the world.

The foglights on the otherhand still use the size H3 though.

I use Sylvania SilverStar's for both and they work great, very bright white light that's legal. I also took out the yellow prism thing in the fog lights so they shine white.
