No offense, but it's all in experience... I found it quite easy and did it in less than 2 minutes in an Autozone parking lot... WITH an oversized battery BTW... I ain't exactly a small guy either, so don't think I have midget hands...

FYI, the entire headlight units come out so you can access the lamps (just remove a screw or two and the whole thing pops out).

Oh yeah, if you want hard to change headlights BTW, go with an Audi TT... Oh, did I mention just the little tiny bulbs for your blinkers are also over $40 each? Also forgot to tell ya, you have to take the bumper off in some cases...
