What the hell is wrong with you designers.. WHY do you keep designing cars in ways that make it nearly impossible to change a G-DAMN light bulb..


Holy stupid designs batman.. lets make a car that requires removing half the ass or front end to just change a freaking brake light or turn signal.

AND lets make it damn near impossible to get any normal hand tools into areas to remove the bolts that hold the damn lamp housing on, oh hell forget tools just getting your hand in there..

---------


Last night I put on my Technostalgia Tail Lights.. I couldn't get my damn hand between the framing and the lamp to even pull out the freaking bulb, much less get at the bolts holding the lamps to the chasis. Would it have been too freaking hard to punch a couple of holes across from the lamps in the framing so a socket and long extension could get to the bolts? WTF.. GM.. Tear up my hands, and spend 2 freaking hours simply trying to get the damn bulb and the lamp out..

I had to get my 8 year old to reach her hands into the area to undo the bulb retainer and bolts, guess I'm lucky she loves to wrench on cars and knows WTF she is doing.. Otherwise I'd still be at it..


My Chrysler was no different trying to change a front turn signal, half the damn fasica had to come off. Forget changing a headlight, the factory instake box had to come out on one side, and the ABS controller on the other.

Similar with my 2003 Cadillac DTS, 2002 Impala LS, Moms 1994 Taurus Wagon, and my 1993 Ford Probe GT, and every one of my Chevy Trucks..


Jebus H Christopher.. get it together. At the very least make some holes for tools to extend thru so you can get to the mounting bolts.. Sure would be a hell of a lot easier than the current buttarded design..

Toyota for all their dullness and fault at least I can change all the bulbs on my wife's Camary within 10 minutes and removing nothing, hell I can even pop out the tail lights in under 2 minutes with a standard 10mm socket and no extensions and not rip all the damn skin off my knuckles.







BTW I love my Technostalgia lamps. VERY high quality, AWESOME install instructions.. and of course the look is amazing..



AMEN!!!!
