Well, kinda'. Do a search on this forum for bulb replacement and you'll find some people have no trouble at all, and some get frustrated easily.
It took me about 30 minutes without removing the lamp housing, but I:
- Had a pair of extra-long, bent needlenosed pliers. And a "Mirror-on-a-Stick"
- Removed the radiator (coolant) overflow tank to gain easy access to the passenger-side lamps.
- Have a higher than normal pain threshold and patience.
It really is'nt too hard if you take your time and keep track of the orientation of the bulb as you remove it. Most real complaints are about mis-alignment of the beam when finished.
The other complaint is the difficulty of moving the little spring clips that hold the base of the bulbs. Once again, take a good look before you start, as you cannot see what you are doing when you are working.
And another thing that causes some to drink: to remove the electrical connector, I used the needlenose to gently but firmly pull STRAIGHT BACK on the connector. NOT THE WIRES! It is well attached and takes some persuasion.
Good luck!
