All that is not necessary!

1. Pull the plastic clip (left and right side of plastic shroud thing) just one on outter edge left and right
2. Put some 3M blue tape on body paint around headlight housing.
3. With a long extension 12" or longer you can reach that ******* bolt! Put piece of tape across the socket, and the bolt will stay in it. Also helps to hold it on end of socket when putting back in.
4. The other bolt is easy.

Can do less then 10mins

Yup, thats how Walt does it too (see above) - I like to follow the "standard" way of doing it though. I hate droppin' bolts. LOL My luck, I'd drop one.

Thanks for this JJ. I guess there is now no "I'll just stop in and grab a replacement bulb on the trip home and throw it in" with this setup. I was thinking of doing some changes but not sure if I care to get involved with these. Can you find a writeup or make on for the fogs?
