E320 Headlight Bulb Replacement
OK, so the little dash light comes on in the E320 Bluetech... "right low beam out."
Head to Autozone, grab a packet of Sylvania replacement bulbs, pop open the owners manual, read the simple "turn the cover counter-clockwise and remove it," then "turn the bulb counter-clockwise and remove it," yada, yada, yada.
Open the hood to begin the simple-sounding operation and the horror begins...
H'mmm, no mention in the book that there's almost zero room to work with, and no mention that turning these things in their socket requires a blood donation because they are so tight and sharp...
So, the question: anyone have any advice to share on making this process bloodless? Stories to share? Better to just pay the dealerman?
