Headlight Replacement

 Remember when replacing a headlight was easy?  Remove the headlight ring with two screws . pull out the bulb. Detach the power cord.  Plug in the new one.  Put it back in and reattach the trim ring.  Bingo, you were done !

  Not any more.  Replacing the bulb on a newer vehicle requires watching two or three YouTube videos, twice.  Several hours of frustration and a couple of expletives and maybe you can get it done.  Yesterday I did all of the above, and accomplished the feat.  It took the alloted time and expletives but my Prius has a new driver's side headlight bulb.  It took three attempts before I got the all the steps done correctly and both the lights came on when I started the car.  😊

You can sese the bulb right?  But remember the assembly in still in the vehicle.  Long fingers and skinny hands help.
