I can honestly say I have had no problems changing any light bulbs lightbulbs lite bulbs, never mind. I'm also an expert in the industry and I have done this many times, so regardless of what others post, especially odot and bust... maybe even TWN, it's not all that it's cracked up to be.

First when contemplating the angle of attack for what to perform first, refer to the factory manual. I always do this, even if it's obvious. You never know what things those crafty engineers did to make this difficult. Follow instructions very carefully. Don't forget proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) like safety glasses, hard hat, gloves, condoms, etc.

If you don't know how to do it, take it to the shop. Or ask a guy on the corner begging for money to buy beer, he knows.

I'm not going to spend all day going over this again as it's been covered in numerous threads, like this one. NEPRT Bulb Clicky

Good luck! :lol:
