and I have no idea when I'll have time to get it replaced.
It should only take a couple of minutes to do.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Once I've found the bulb, and found the instructions (the manual says "see dealer") sure. But the prequisites take time, and I don't have much of that.

I don't much use greetings in email. Which, given that everyone else does, must make me seem abrupt and rude, but it's always seemed awkward and unnecessary. Also, my day is not going so hot at the moment.

Instructions, mastructions. You just unscrew the socket from behind the headlight, pull out the bulb, and pop in the new one.

ita and msbelle need to be given new days.
ita, bribe someone to take your car when you are in a meeting and drive it to the nearest autoparts store. Usually the store people will install the new bulb you've purchased if you ask and sometimes even if you don't (which I will do next time the driver's side bulb goes. Passenger's is easy. Driver's requires skinned knuckles, swearing and potential electrocution.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, that's sort of how I feel. Funny how job-hunting turns me into a sulky child.

Is this Jetta-specific? Because my Accord was complicated enough that even though I started, I had to take it to the shop to finish. You had to take other stuff out to get behind the headlight. Under the hood of the Jetta looks even denser.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Ack. Sorry, shrift.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Dood, do not try to change the headlight in a Volkswagen without professional help. Seriously. I had mid-80s Golf and a Rabbit, and both of those required the most amazing contortions to fix any of the bulbs. Take it to the dealer and let them fuck with it.
