How many reasonably intelligent people does it take to change a light bulb?

Specifically, the headlight of a 2010 GMC Sierra.

That's a Geaux Tigers.

One with really small hands.

If it's anything like changing the daytime running lights on a 2011 Tahoe, then I feel your pain. Have to take half the front end off to get to it. Other one went out about 3 weeks ago and I refuse to do it myself again. I'll pay the dealership it's such a PITA.

I wanna know why a lot of "newer" vehicles have made it to where it's virtually impossible to change a damn headlight yourself.
Growing up I never had issues doing this, it was a simple raise the hood, remove housing, exchange bulb, done. I eventually ended up with a 2005 trailblazer and I had to take the damn thing into a shop just to change out the headlights because the only way to get in to do it was to remove the entire grill!
It's a friggin racket.

So you have to take it to their shitty overpriced dealership to get it changed.

Not sure. But for OT ballers, it only takes one guy to process the payment for such things.

Last time I did I blew a fuse somehow and had to then dig out the fuse box and replace.

Driver side or passenger side?

Changing out the battery isn't that much simpler. You have to take a qtr panel frame apart just to get to it.

youtube that shite, man....not too hard if you know how...damn near impossible to figure out by yourself, though.

Driver was out, but I changed both. Had to take the cover off air filter to get to the passenger one.

The manual says to pop the hood, then just reach in there and remove the bulb.
It didn't say anything about requiring Trump hands and double jointed wrists.

None. OT ballers pay the reasonably unintelligent to do it.

Well, I was going to recommend that same thing for the passenger side. At least it's a little better than taking the bumper off, but it's still a pain in the arse.

And on the driver's side, the wires are too short to rotate the bulb, so you have to unplug it first. Not easy in that orientation.

At VANDERBILT: it takes two, one to change the bulb and one more to explain how they did it every bit as well as any Ivy Leaguer.
At GEORGIA: it takes three, one to change the bulb and two to phone a friend at Georgia Tech for instructions
At FLORIDA: it takes four, one to screw in the bulb and three to figure out how to get high off the old one.
At ALABAMA: it takes five, one to change it, two to talk about how Bear would have done it and two to throw the old bulb at Auburn students.

At KENTUCKY: it takes eight, one to screw it in and seven to discuss how much brighter it shines during basketball season.

I changed on in my '09 Sierra.
Next time one burned out I traded the whole fricking truck for a new one.

You always, always, always change 'em both.

Oh, I planned to change them both. Literally had to remove the wheel well to unscrew half of the front end. Ratchet didn't fit, so I'm slowly undoing long bolts with a box end wrench. Covered in dirt and grease. All to do something that takes 30 seconds in my other car. Took me about an hour. I said f**k it to the other one and said I was bringing it in when it went out. Just haven't gotten around to it.
