It was going to be so easy - a burnt-out directional bulb.
Ordered it on the rain forest, came next day.
Watch a 'tube vid, cause someone must have done this - yeah, most of the people are removing the front end,
some are just removing the headlight assemble, and one person actually recognized what is supposed to be done.
First there is a cover with 14 of those push style plastic rivets. Got the tool, so not horrible.

hmm - but that is a 14 mm hex head - so a ratcheting box wrench will do the job (or a regular socket) - combine that with a long set of needle nose.
I have both replaced in under 5 minutes. May as well test them before buttoning it up.
Same side is out - WTF. So I swap sides and it follows the bulb.
I decide to bench test it.

Upon closer inspection, there was some arcing at the connection.

So I bend the tab up a bit, and clean it with a file. Bingo.

What could have taken sub-15 minutes took 40. Still not bad for a car project.
