Just under an hour ago I fell to my knees about to thrash in a headlight.

I was following a really good DIY for changing out the DRLs and the Parking Lights (not sure why i just capitalized "parking lights") ..anyhow..

One side went easily and all was well; however, I got stuck on the drivers side due to space restrictions and me overlooking one of the small details to move a bar not to undo the dang thing

Frustrated I ran upstairs to the computer and posted on here within minutes a couple people replied, and it was a very "duh" moment..i ran down stairs to the garage, fixed the issue, and life is good

The response time of this forum and the availability of the knowledge within is truly outstanding, and for that i am thankful. for everyone below that posted quickly about my problem, you are fantastic

my server is down at the moment, and I am going to hit the gym for a bit, but I will put up some pics when I return..

Thanks again people of CL..you all rock!

why are you unscrewing the bar...just stick a screw driver in between the bar and the cover and pry out towards the fender. It holds down the cover like a swing bar.
LMK. Alos remove the washer filler hose to have more room

LOL.. you need to relax buddy.. all you have to do is pull the metal bar off to unlock the cover

JNS! THANK YOU!...DID YOU TIME THAT?
I'm finished..I was trying to unscrew the thng when (as you said) it just swings open ...I'm partially retarded, but that one this did it and I got the bulbs in

This is why I believe in forums like this..I will post some pics here in a just a bit

Don't worry about it. Most mods take time. Frustration happens to the best of us. Good thing there were members able to help you and everything is functioning properly.
