Headlights keep burning out about every 4-6 months. To replace them in this model requires pulling the tire and
the wheel well liner off, then reaching into the most cramped space ever with your hand to remove the sealed cover, which is extremely difficult to rotate in the space allowed. Now you must contend with a wire spring that holds the lamp in place and is a bear to re-latch, an overall poor design for serviceability. This is an extremely annoying activity that shouldn't have to be done so frequently and with so much effort.
A tip for making the sealed cover easier to twist and unlock, put some petroleum or electrical contact jelly around the rubber o-ring, and that will help keep it rotate more easily.
