Wow didn't expect to come back and see so many replies. Maybe it's just me but I'm about 6'4" and my hands are XL. I just can't get a good enough grip on a few of them especially the back seat bulbs. Good idea about the girlfriend. Maybe I'll ask my hot little wifey if I can get her princess a$$ to come out in the cold to help. Won't likey happen soon enough though.

that's actually a fairly good idea.....never thought bout it before. but maybe something less aggressive than duct tape in case u stick it someplace it shouldn't go u wont have the sticky adhesive duct tape sometimes leaves behind

everytime I changed my wedge bulbs...esp the driver-side...i cut up my fingers and knuckles and it bleeds. no pain...no gain.

the other option...remove front bumper...then remove headlight unit.
