I mostly love my Honda Accord but why is the headlight so hard to replace? Initially i thought all I had to do was move the battery to reach in and take it out. Then I noticed a huge air hose in the way. OK you can still grab the base of the light but it won't turn to pop out and its very hard to reach in there. The base of the light will not turn. So I check out the light on the other side and discovered there are screws holding the light in. So somehow you have to get a screw driver into this tiny space and its a 90 degree angle. So lots of stuff has to come out just to replace a light bulb.
Now that's a really poor design ( unless you own a repair shop!!). So I'll have to pay someone $80 an hour to replace a light bulb!! Plus there is the inconvenience of having to go to a mechanic and waste my time there.
