I've searched the forum and read various posts, but I can't for the life of me figure out where the screws other than the 2 on the top of the headlight assembly are. Does anybody have pictures and/or reasonably detailed instructions they could post? I'd really rather not have to take it in to the dealership just to change a @#$% lightbulb, as I'm sure they'll charge way too much for it.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

 

there's 3 two on top and one behind the headlight. It goes down a ways so you'll need a long T27 screwdriver or an extension. You'll just have to loosen it and then slide the headlight forward(out), no need to take the screw completely out.

Dont take it to the dealership!! It's too simple of a procedure to have them rip you off on.

 

Is it a different bolt than the ones on the top? (They're T30)

 

Hooray for happy endings to stupid problems - I actually found a local shop that changed it out for me for only the cost of the bulb! I was also impressed to see them do it - they had a guy who's some kind of contortionist - he actually got his hand in there and changed the bulb w/o moving the headlight assembly forward, if you can believe that.

 

wierd mine are T27 lol

DAMN! I tried to do something like that but it was way too difficult

 

Odd that they'd be different sizes with our cars only being one year apart. Wouldn't surprise me if a T27 bit would do a reasonably decent job of turning a T30 bolt, though. I just know that mine fit a T30 bit perfectly.

Yeah, I took one look at that and thought "no way my hand is getting in there," but when I got to the shop, they brought out this dude with hands only slightly smaller than mine, and while it did take him some effort, he got in there.
