all you have to do is take the power steering resevoir off its bracket and then you have access to the back of the headlight

what about the winshield reservoir thats the only thing that doesnt give me enough clearance unscrew it.

ya the windshield resevoir doesnt move nor should you have to unscrew anything to change the light bulb. move the p/s resevoir, unplug the connector, pull the rubber weather stripping off the back of the headlight, and unhook the gold tab that holds the bulb in place

pop out the tabs in your fender liner and pull it down and go up through there. It's pretty easy that way, I just did it this weekend.

I just took my windshield washer reservoir out, lol. The sprayers wouldn't fit in my carbon fiber hood and I lost some of the hoses so I just took the whole thing out, I never used to use it anyways. But yeah if it is gone you have extremely easy access to the back of the light. Otherwise you can just kind of jam your hand down in there and do it like that.
