Default Hybrid Engine is cluttered

Like it says, the engine seems to be cluttered more than the other GS 350, yes its expected because its a hybrid. I just wonder what the easiest way is to change the High beam bulbs. I will post some pics of the the change. I got one of the bulbs done but the other side I dont think there is any possible way to fit a human hand in there. I changed the Silverstar Ultra to the Philips Crystal Vision.

Loosen the windshield fluid reservoir inlet bolt, that will give you room while trying to get your hand down there to twist the bulb. It worked for me.

Yep this worked, thanks you would have thought I would have figured that on my own. Thanks again.

So after the install of the Philips Crystal Vision the high beams look better, not like I'll ever use it but wanted to start there. I took one before I did the other and the yellow really shows the difference.
