We recently purchased a new (to us) family car and I’ve been addressing some of the neglected maintenance items. The low beam headlights were extremely dim, yet the high beams were very bright. Incandescent bulbs become dimmer over time. I purchased some which were recommended by the forum for my specific vehicle for only $15 on the rain forest site. They are quite a bit brighter now and I feel much safer driving at night.

      On my car you have to access them via the wheel case, rotate the wheel to the left or right to access the left or right front lights, then stick your arm all the way in there and change the light blindly because you can’t see shit from this angle.

        This is becoming the norm and I hate it. I do a lot of basic services for my friends and half of them are in through the wheel well or worse behind the battery.
