Thanks a lot for your input on how to change the front low beam bulbs.
It sure sounds like a lot of unnecessay work to just change a bulb out.
What were the designers thinking of in this type of design?
If I would go this route to gain access to the bulbs, I might as well go all the way and install a set of HID lights while I was at it.

Thanks again for the helpful answer.
