I know you guys are good to rant to when I have nowhere else.
My LF headlight burned out a couple of days ago. Last year the RF burned out and I was able to replace it with a trick I found on You-tube by loosening the fender underflap and reaching up blindly and feeling the headlight assembly, cover, plug socket and clip to replace it.
I figured the same on the left - Nope. Stuff blocking the way.
In order to replace the headlamp, I had to remove 35 fasteners, the grill, the bumper and the headlight assembly to access the bulb.
Should replacing the headlamp take 5 hours? And by the way I'm still scratching my head how to get the bumper positioned back on. Being large and floppy I can't seem to do it by myself.
Was replacing the headlamp ever a consideration?
And by the way, I have never had two headlamps burn out in a 7 year old car with 60,000 miles. What happened to headlamp life? With about 14-15 cars under my care for 45 years and keeping them about 10-12 years 100K miles I can count the headlights replaced probably 3 or 4 max at least one was a rock not burned out.
