That depends on the car. Pull 2 pins and the entire headlamp lifts put on my Volvo, and the bulbs can be replaced in comfort. Slide the light back in, push the pins in, Voila! Genuine 3 minute bulb changes with no tools.Year's ago i loved working on my car. It was easy and everything was easily accessible to get to. You could self learn about how things worked and was never afraid to having a go.
Nowadays though I hate going near the dam things.. There's no room under the bonnet to get to anything and are horrendously complicated.
Tomorrow I've got the unpleasant task to changing a headlight bulb.. Year's ago it as simple as lifting the bonnet up to getting access to the back of the light.
Tomorrow though it's a case of lying under neath the car in the muck and contorting my arthritic hand blindly into a tight space searching for the bulb connector.
Plenty of room to work, everything is thoughtfully designed for removal and dismantling... that's probably why the lifespan of the average Volvo is 20.7 years, nearly double the average.
Mind you, everything is done up twice as tight and weighs twice as much as a regular car, so it's not all smooth sailing.
