    I sat hunched under my elderly mother’s car, video running on the phone in one hand, showing how to remove a ridiculously complicated headlamp cover, just to replace a busted headlight. Hand scraped and bleeding, but it got done. Would have NEVER figured it out otherwise.

    Thanks that one YouTuber.

      It’s like some automotive designers have never considered the concept of car maintenance. The new beetle when they came out either needed a battery removed or the inner-fender moved to get to the headlight on one side.

      The on the contrary, I had a 2011 honda pilot that had a door in the fenderwell so you could get to the upstream o2 sensor
