Default Removing high beam highbeam H1

Can anyone give me a brief run down on how to do this? I haven't tried it yet, but I'd like to get a heads up on it befor I start. I opened the hood and can barely stick my hand through the small hole in order to reach for the h1 bulb. Btw I have a 2006.

Thanks

It can be done, just take your time. Shine a flashlight in the hole beforehand just so you know what exactly you're feeling for. After doing it once, I'm sure I could do both within 10 mins. It took me maybe 30 mins the first time.

How about taking off the rims, or turning the wheel L/R per side...peel off the plastic inner wheel guards via the plastic nuts....shouldn't that expose the whole headlight case with room to spare.......

Yes....but why do so much work for such a simple job? Its a tight squeeze for your hand through the fender, but it can be done fairly easily. Just have patience and take your time.

you don't even have to take the wheels off, just turn them in all the way and open up the wheel well panel just enough to see and get your hand in there.
