Changed the headlight bulbs for the first time...

and it has to be the most annoying process I've ever had to go through to change a headlight. Took nearly 2 hours...

What'd you do? You can usually just turn the wheel, jack up the front and undo some of the clips/plugs and reach it.

Yea it's pretty brutal.

Some turn the wheel, some take off the wheel, some even take out the whole headlight assembly. Poor design....

Terribly poor design.

I went the route of taking off the bumper and pulling the assembly out. The fender wall was a bitch and I couldn't pull it out enough to change it that way.

Anyways, next time it should be quicker. I just hope these bulbs last a long time =P

If you go through the wheel well it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes if you take off the wheels, less if you don't.
