Default Bulb Change

Is it just me or do the headlight bulbs get harder to change as the years progress. I was preparing to install some silverstars and just wanted to make sure that I was able to get to the bulb prior to the purchase. Everything went well until I had to put the coolant resovoir back in its place. It took me forever to line up the insert until finnally I had to take the battery tie down off just so my fat fingers could get in there. Anyone else have any problems?

The key to taking the bulbs out... pull 2 tabs off of the wheel well liner. Then pull on it.. you can access them that way.. Much easier

I had the same exact problem. I tried and tried, and ended up giving up and taking out the battery to put the coolant reservior back in. As for the other side, I took out the actuator cuz I thought it was easier;it was a pain to get the 3 bolts back in. I ended up going through the wheel well too to install the lights...........
