This is entirey posted so I can VENT! So I had my driverside low-beam burn out the other day. Now, I've changed my fair share of headlights before, no big whoop. Well, I stroll into my local Wal-Mart and pick up a pair of new bulbs. I decide to take on the daunting task of changing bulbs in the parking lot, in the dark! Well I have NEVER seen a more fuc#ed up lighting assembly in my entire life! It's a 95 s14, and who ever designed the clip system for holding the bulb in place should be scalped! Not only do they give you less than 2" clearance to reach in and toy with the rear of the assembly, but there is this little pain-in-the-a$$ clip that you must remove after you manage to get everything else undone. After you sucessfully navigate this introductory step of the installation process, you have to finagle the old bulb out, and somehow convince the new one to go in. That's the easy part! Now, you have to have a Masters degree in the fine-art of FUC#ED-UP to get that little clip to go back into place. Not only did it take me thirty or so tries... one of the clips slipped out of my fingers and slid down into the headlight assembly.... Now I had to remove the ENTIRE assembly from the vehicle, and take it apart while sitting in my car in the Wal-Mart parking lot. TWO hours later, I had everything back together, and guess what, one of the new bulbs is already burned out... after ONE DAY!! If I ever meet a Nissan designer, he's getting the old "purple mushroom tattoo" across the forehead!
Sorry for the long booring post.. but I have to vent or I'll explode!!!
