If you haven't done this you may want too. I checked mine today and found that they were real dirty and needed replacing. They also had a musty odor. Of course you have to be willing to stand on your head for a while to do this job. I lowered the back all the way down on the seats and crawled up under the dash. I almost did not find the filter on the passenger side. It is hidden behind the main plug to the computer. Look right behind the plug and you will see it. Make sure you remember how the duct goes on the driver's side. It is not real ovious how to reinstall it. Other than these tips it's a good DIY job. Get some filters first though. Chances are they haven't been changed and will need it with a 3 or 4 year old car. It took a couple of hours. A repeat would take about an hour. Check the link for the TIS.
