Fitted my new headlight bulbs today. What an absolute pita
Half way through I had to take a break for some top level swearing. Most of it was dead easy but I couldn't figure out where the last bolt holding the lights was and the bumper needed a lot more of a hard tug than I dared risk until I got a bit desperate to get the job done. Two and a half hours in the end but all sorted and money saved from getting the dealer to do it. Amazed at just how much muck had accumulated in the various hidden areas 
Well done for persevering Watts.
I had a message from a friend a few weeks ago when he was mid-way through a xenon bulb change on his JDM Civic where he’d lost the will to live! I think he was taking a scream and swear break too!!
