What the hell?!?

I wanted to install some XtraVision bulbs today. Had no idea it was that freekin arcane! What is the point of the nice simple twist off part if you have to take the whole damn headlight out to change the actual bulb. That particular engineer out in Normal needs a swift kick in the ass...

lol you dont have to take the whole headlight out man? all you gotta do is twist that plastic POS out and push down on the little metal clip and put the new one in.. heh, dont tell me you took the whole headlight assembly out....

well how big are your hands? Its a pain in the ass to do, the 2 inch hole for the turn signals are worse

lol yeah dude all you do is twist off the moisture protecter thing, and then pull the metal clip, similar tot he one holding the window crank on, and then pull the plastic clip. also dont touch the glass.

Well, I am 6'5", so I guess my hands are fairly big. If the clip is all that is holding it in there I guess I didn't read the other posted instructions that well. It looked like you needed to take out those two litte screws, which were what I couldn't get at.

Sorry to vent there. I had a lot of things to do on the car yesterday to get it ready for the ITN rally, it wasn't all working, and I just got frustrated. Thanks for the replies!

VAMPIRE BAT!!!! :thumbsup

if your 6'5 you got more things to worry about other then the bulb.....how the hell do you fit in the car i'm 5'11 and i have no clearance

trust me, Juan doesn't look very comfortable in the GS. Luckly he somewhat alleviated the problem by doing the lowered seat mod.

too bad I'm not able to CO-drive for Dan. Woudl love to do the ITN rally...:(

Ohh, the turn signal my bad :) haha yeah they are pretty F'n retarded when they designed that

I think people are most amazed when i step out of the car. TO think i drove this car for 8 hours straight to VA this past christmas.

Hey! I'm more comfy in the Eclipse than most cars I've been in. When I was shopping for cars 6 yrs ago, none of the other ones I tried (Celica, 240, MR2, etc) I liked much. With the seat back at the right angle, and the Seat Lowering Mod, I do fine in my car. Not having a sunroof helps a lot, too.

Will miss you at the ITN, Kaiser. Sounds like there will be a lot of people running...
