GRrr - Rant - Pontiac Sunfire headlights are stoopid!
My wife's headlight went out the other night, so I stopped by the auto parts store today while I was running errands.
To replace the bulb, you have to remove the entire headlight assembly. To get to that you have to first remove the radiator cover.
Once I made it down to the headlamp assembly, the second bolt (of the two that hold the headlight in place) slipped out of my hand and down into the gaping hole left from the headlight not being there.
Instead of falling straight to the ground, this car has sort of a mini-partial belly pan on just the sides. I have no idea if the bolt is in there or not. I whacked the bottom a few times, to hear if there was a bolt rattling around or not. Couldn't find it anywhere.
And could the Sunfire use a normal bolt to hold the headlight in? NOOOoooooo. It has to be a weird special bolt which I can't match.
So now, her car has two working headlights, but the driver side is only held in by one bolt.
Grrrrr...
End Rant.
