Who's done this?

There's a hole under the mud guard in the wheel well to access it, but only those with normal sized hands seem to fit! I only have it partially removed, and needle-nosed pliers don't work.

So then I try to access it by going under the hood by removing a box to the left of the air box and the battery...I removed three bolts & numereous connections and it still doesn't fully open. I can jimmy the crap out of it like those of us who've changed the air filter, but this box contains everything electrical so there's no way I'm taking that chance!

Any advice? On any other car this takes 20 seconds! The a-hole who designed this deserves to be shot!

I remember changing mine from the top. Once you take off the ECU cover you can just reach the bulb holder. But then I have slender hands...
Almost makes taking off the nose easier!

I just take ECU cover off, and use hands. It's doable.

Come to Oakville meet this Saturday, and I'll help you install it. Maybe I have smaller hands than you. Though I gotta say after I did that side, I had severe scrapes on my hands.

If I recall correctly, you are installing the bulbs I sold to you?

Yes, those bulbs. My left is a nice white, my right is **** yellow right now....

I'll give the right another try tomrrow and if no luck I'll let you know. Thanks for the offer.
