Angry Headlights

Is there a way we can track down and kill the engineer who thought having to pull the headlight completely out of the truck to change the bulb would be acceptable?!!?

I already spent the money on the bulbs before finding out to change each bulb you remove 3 star screws (1 nearly impossible to get to) 1 phillips plastic screw, 1 plastic snap that once unsnapped will NOT snap back in place, 1 plastic guide pin that you WILL break off completely before getting the headlight out (seems useless anyway), and a pain in the @#$ plug... Try all that in a dark store parking lot at night durring a rain storm! (has always seemed to be the time bulbs prefer to blow)

Dont get me wrong, I love my truck, and hope to have it until it reaches that 350,000 mile mark the engine is good for.
But the kid who designed the head lights RODE THE SHORT BUS TO WORK!!!

BDude- I agree completely. When I yanked mine out I thought a whole new assembly would be in order!(somehow nothing cracked.) It's definately a pain in the butt just to change that bulb.

I just replaced mine and while that would have been easier, I was able to do it with the headlights still in place.
