2011 Outback headlight bulb replacement

[brucie]

Found several videos on YouTube on 'how to' which interestingly enough was confirmed in owners manual. Took two of us over an hour to do the job. Basically have to destroy all the plastic clips that attach the fender lining to the fender, have to take the tire off, and have to be a contortionist to change the bulb. One person working from below and one from above. Can't see what you're doing, need strong lights above and below. We got it done but a dreadful experience. No room to work. Had to purchase several new clips to the tune of $17 the next day. Have had many cars over the years and have replaced many bulbs, thus was by far the worst experience. From now on before I buy a new vehicle I will investigate this. It's like car manufacturers don't want you doing anything with their cars other than washing and vacuuming.
