Helpful video... best part what I like is that it's explained why you should not touch the glass, instead using paper towel, otherwise you might will need to change that bulb again soon. Thank you for uploading!...

A great video and a perfect example of what's wrong with the design of automobiles since the turn of the century. I used to be able to change a bulb in 5 minutes on almost any car. Now you need a garage and a box of tools! For a light bulb. I think the manufacturers just worked out a way for us to sustain the after sales business. What a joke?!
