no offense to you man..but if u made this post in order to help nyone..i think its bs....when i switched out my lamps...i tried to do it the same way on my 05 exL ...wayyyyy too complicated....
then someone here told me ....you can access both headlights from the hood...pop the hood and you can see it easily...just gotta be careful to put the bulb in without knocking it around before you get it in....just gotta be a bit patient...
