Default How long does it usually take to change a headlight bulb...?

I did it a couple times with my honda but that was 4 years ago and I can't remember how long it took back then. Just wanting to know if I can accomplish it in the 2 hours I have free tomorrow or should I hold off until Saturday.

Default LMFAO, sorry. It takes literately about 10 minutes on the older two piece setup

One-piece units are trickier on the high beam bulbs because it's such a tight fit for large(r) hands.

Well, if he's got 2 hours he can always put the carrier in the service position ;-)

Default WOW ! Multiple hours is required when it's a factory one-piece ?

Sometimes, change isn't a good thing

Default How many AW'ers does it take to change a lightbulb?

8:

1 to tell them to STFA
1 to provide an E**A diagram
1 to hijack the thread with an unrelated post
3 to provide sarcastic responses
1 to whine about how difficult Audi made it to change the bulbs
1 to let everyone know that they have a lightbulb for sale in the classifieds

;-)
