Low beam replacement bulb issues

[perryis5150]

So I've got the bulb out and replaced in the plastic holder but I cannot get my hand between the fuse box and the headlight it self. Any suggestions other than taking the headlight out?

Find someone with smaller hands to help

I had one of my co-worker try and she couldn't do it either. Maybe my 5 year old will have to do it. Seems like a crappy design to me.

I've done it myself...it just needs to be lined up properly first, then twist.

I now have to take apart the front end to find the bulb that feel down in the wheel well. My wife is going to try and get it in for me. If not I'll have to take the headlight out.

There are a few youtube videos on replacing the bulb. You may want to review before removing headlight.

I have. It's a rather poor design they came up with.

Bulb is prolly on the under tray. T25 torx i believe. It's even worse trying to change the turn signal in the mk7 base lights. I dropped a bulb into the housing. That was a treat.

My wife was able to get it in last night after a few attempts. I'll take it apart some time later and see if I can find it.
