You can pull the entire housing... It only takes a few minutes to pull it and then you have a ton of room.

Don't follow his advice^

lol

Getting the housing out is pretty easy... takes like 5 minutes each.. but putting it in is a PITA!

Find someone with smaller hands lol..
Maybe a girl? You don't need much force to twist the blinker...

After AE'ing my headlight I had them both re-installed in well under 10min...

What was so hard about re-installing them??

Lol, I also did the AE, and I found it absolutely annoying to get them back in.
You have to get the pin under the light, the guard rail on the side near the blinker.. it was really annoying.

Also probably took 10 min per light... but it was just so annoying and tedious.. wouldnt want to do it again.

It takes practice, I can get them in in ~10 seconds

I was about to say....

The headlights on my Infiniti are definitely moer of a PITA to remove, but I've dome it so many times that it's a pretty quick process now. Im not sure why the max lamps weren't designed this way
