LOL! Glad I'm not the only one who has had the fun.

When my dad and I first looked at replacing it, we both thought that
going through the headlight assembly made sense. I stopped undoing
more screws after the first two didn't have any effect on the
headlight assembly at which point I pulled out the manual and
attempted it myself.

When I take my car in for its 105K checkup, I'm having them replace
the front driver side bulb whether it needs it or not (assuming it
hasn't already burned out).
