That has to be the most crowded engine bay i've ever seen.<br /><br />http://www.europeancarweb.com/featuredcars/epcp_1112_1993_lancia_delta_hf_integrale_evoluzione/photo_02.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394770355470925532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-62123346917134497662013-11-25T15:49:36.764-07:002013-11-25T15:49:36.764-07:00My Volvo XC70 (2004) you need fairy hands to do th...My Volvo XC70 (2004) you need fairy hands to do the right side bulbs because of the air box as well, left side are only slightly better but still there's a wire harness in the way you can't get rid of. Rear lights are a bit easier, but still makes you wonder if the designers ever had to change a bulb themselves or maybe they have a wager on who can make it worse (I think Audio was winning from your post).<br /><br />On a related note, has any one noticed more people driving in the city with their high beams (both lights) on at all times? I don't know if it is just where I am (Canada) or something else, but it seems way more common now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831591397323428147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-80151572617076641452013-11-25T08:29:25.625-07:002013-11-25T08:29:25.625-07:00Makes you wonder why they don't give a little ...Makes you wonder why they don't give a little more room in there, given that headlight bulbs are a consumable item that will need replacing at some point. My current Range Rover has the same issue on the left-side headlight but luckily I don't have shovels for hands so I was able to go around behind the radiator and pop the dust cap off that way. Once the dust cap was off, there was a lot more room inside the housing to fuss and mess with the bulb.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322134770888868709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-39746866680748419632013-11-25T08:19:46.690-07:002013-11-25T08:19:46.690-07:00...yeah... first of all, people are idiots. That a......yeah... first of all, people are idiots. That answers the big "why".<br /><br />Second of all it isn't all roses. My two cars are an '08 Yaris and a '10 Mazda 3. When the Yaris tossed its first bulb, of course in the middle of a brutal cold snap, I spent two hours trying to get the old bulb out -- forget the new one in. The fusebox is about a half inch behind the bulb's jack, with a hole barely big enough for me to get my ham hands in at the whole mess. Undoing the fusebox mounts wasn't enough to get enough room for me to get at it. It was only when I was contemplating taking the front lens assembly out entirely that I gave up and made the appointment to pay Toyota $50 to put in a $5 bulb. And that's a week and a half later, even assuming that the first appointment is for a time when we don't need the car.<br /><br />But in my defense, I'm an idiot -- see point one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01287259865905678281noreply@blogger.com
