Thanks to everyone

I got the bulb done, did not like not seeing anything. The guy who designed this should be shot. I can not believe that for something like changing a headlight bulb, they couldn’t come up with something better. If I had a shop and lift I would create an access hold, install a plug and seal with silicone.

Only 3 that NEED to be removed, depend on your pain tolerance level. If you need to see what you are doing and don't want your forearm all scratched up you can remove the entire fender liner, or the bumper cover and light housing.

My Toyota Tacoma was almost as much trouble except that there was nothing to remove to make access easier. All the "stuff" under the hood was obviously installed after the bulbs.

Oddly enough you are not the first to complain about it. We get a chuckle out of it, now. "Isn't the newby cute?"

Dan’s F250, required four or five bolts to be removed and then wrestle the headlights out of their places

Many other rides set-ups that are 'hard" to replace bulbs.

Ours is easy imo in comparison..
