Thinking that changing the bulb in the right headlight of my 2003 Forester would be straightforward, I went to the dealer and bought a brand-new bulb.
When I checked under the hood, I found that I can't get my hands into the space behind the headlight -- there's some part attached near the top of the headlamp. I can't get my hands in from either side of this part. (Well, I can kinda sorta get my fingers in, but couldn't get enough leverage to remove the connector.)
Just for laughs, I tried to remove the connector on the *left* headlight, just to see how hard it would be to pull it out. Well, apparently very hard -- I wasn't able to do it; it felt like I'd damage something if I pulled any further.
Is there some trick to this that I'm not seeing, or is this really a dealer/shop job?
