Well, I was able to replace my driver's side bulb really easily yesterday. It sure is tight in there. I saw videos where the grill and etc comes out to get the headlamp assembly out. It was tight and I am even thinking of doing the drivers side, but that looks tighter with the 'ol fuse box there.

Any of you guys have tips about that side? My light bulb is good yet, but I am thinking of replacing it sooner than later.

I was able to replace both sides by holding the plastic holder with 2 fingers, place them in position , reposition my hand and turn the holder until it clicked in , yes it is tight but doable without uninstalling the head light

Did this this weekend, if you remove the 3 screws holding in the mud guard you can reach in underneath and replace it without removing the entire headlight assembly. Screws shown at 1:26 in video below

The passenger side you can do from above, but the fuse box gets in the way on the drivers side.
