PSA: change your headlights before installing wider wheels

I installed some new 5500k bulbs back when I had my 403m wheels. A bit tight, but not bad overall.

Well, one bulb decided to go out on me and I recently mounted some wider Vorsteiner wheels. Well, that made changing bulbs a huuuuge PITA!! I have relatively small hands and it was near impossible still.

Probably would have been easier to just take the wheel off.

Get em, so cheap. Every car guy needs a jack and stuff to remove their wheel lugs.

The XL jack I'm looking at is $250ish. Waiting for it to drop a little on Amazon, then I'll pick it up. It's in my wishlist, though.
