Oddly, we've had the car since '04 and this was the first time we needed to replace the headlights! The left side main light went out at oh, we'll say 3:50 p.m. Dad and I decided to do the repair ourselves, so we went to the local auto store and purchased the replacement. That's about the time we realized that the light had no immediate exit from the case. We did everything, from trying to rip the plastic off to going behind with some pliers and a flashlight. At 5:00pm, we caved, and decided to run it up to a dealership. Yeah, like they'll help. We rolled in at 5:15, and the shop was closed up! It normally closes at 6:00. No help from them! And what's sad is that on the way out, a dealer stopped and asked if we wanted to purchase a car from them! Yeah right. Finally, out front of an O'Rielly's, or however you spell it, we succeeded in getting to the light. Granted, it took 30 minutes of hard labor with the aide of a shop mechanic, but we did. I'm praying that the other one doesn't blow, because we put our fingers through the pit of hell to get that bulb in. Really, there should be a better method of getting to the lights than from behind. Is there, or is this a problem for everyone?
