Headlight Lamp Replacement???
I have looked in the owner's manual and the service manual and I can't seem to make sense of the instructions there. Mine is an '04 if that makes any difference, but how do you get to the lamp sockets? I've pulled the bezel and that's easy enough, but I don't see any obvious fasteners that remove the lens assembly. Can anyone point me to some photo-accompanied instructions? Thanks,
Tom

After removing the bezels, reach in from behind and remove the electrical connector by lifting up on the tab and then pulling it off the bulb. Then you can feel the bulb and twist it off...
When installing the new bulb, you can look thru the lens and guide it in the hole, twist and connect..

Easy to do unless you have really large forearms.

Thanks C5~Missle, sounds simple enough!
Carlb3, I've gone the top cover route on other cars and it has been very tedious to get the cover back in the right place lined up with all adjacent surfaces. I'll try C5~Missle's approach before I go there. Thanks though.
