Never changed a bulb before, but how hard can it be? Seems like there's ample room in the engine bay behind the headlights, and shouldn't be that hard to do! The first time I tried to replace the bulbs on my old Scenic, it was a bumper off job and took half the weekend. I had it down to 2 hours by ...

Add into the mix lighs that have the blue 'fringe' and, worse, orange/brown - as the car hits bumps that can appear like indicators flashing.

I've posted before about some research I took part in. It was actually aimed at developing tests for the effects of brain injury on driving, in particular trying to develop something more effective than a fields test. It involved 'driving' through a very simple computer-generated environment, follo...
