I say blame management. They probally said "make it smaller" and "we want our products to last only 3-5 years so the consumer needs to keep purchacing". It's greedy corperations that are the ones to be lined up.

I still can't help with the 2 hours of cursing that will follow. Lexus came up with this ingenious idea that they'd stick plastic connectors in the center of the head........ So every connector you go to remove will break from heat exposure.

they didn't seem to be absolutely needed. they are just a snap lock for the wires on the coils holding them extra tight.

i'm not replacing them.
