A few months ago, I wrote about Subaru’s truly demented design for headlights in which bulb replacement is done by detaching the lining of the wheel well, lying on the ground, reaching one arm up into the bowels of the car like James Herriot delivering a calf, and blindly fumbling with connectors and clasps while balancing a delicate halogen bulb. On the way home last night, I noticed that my right headlight was out. So I get to repeat the process, but this time with my non-dominant hand. Should be a right treat.

I have a 2008 Saturn Vue and the dealer tells me the right front side marker light needs to be changed. Said dealer charges $95.35 to do it which tells me that it’s at least an hour’s worth of labor. I can’t imagine how long it would take as a do-it-yourself project.

The left rear side marker light I might be able to handle as they only want $7.31 to do that.
