Over an hour later with skinned fingers and gashed knuckles the job was finally done, but it fought me all the way, at one point I lost the clip into the headlight unit but managed to fish it out again with a piece of wire.


I can only assume that Chrysler advise the removal of either the coolant tank or the headlight unit to do that side?


Is there an easier way for next time? I'm thinking of replacing both dipped beam bulbs for better ones too, but after last night I wont be going through that again until they actually blow.
When you think about it you'll realize that using the regular bulbs you do not have to remove the clip, just swing it out of the way.
Yes the coolant tank is moved out of the way
