bulbs for you.
It i s becoming increasingly more and more diffi­

cases, other parts of the car must first be re­
moved before you are able to get to the bulb.
This applies especially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car which you can only reach
through the engine compartment.
Sheet meta l and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, and pa rts
must be correctly taken apart and then properly
put back together to help prevent breakage of
parts and long term damage from water that can .,,_
