Default Change Passenger Side Low Beam Bulb

I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but I tried reaching into the cramped area on the passenger side to get to the low beam to replace a dead bulb. I can't get it out as I can only get 1 hand in there. What is the correct way to do it?

I only used one hand to change out the bulb. Just reach down there and turn it. Give it a tug and the bulb will come out.

easy peasy. Just twist and yank. I just did it and changed out the low beam halogens to LED for a YUGE improvement

It's just a little difficult if you have big hands.

I replaced with a FAN LESS HIGH POWERED LED bulb. All good.

I also replaced the fogs with the same type LED bulbs. The 2013 CT200h uses the same low beam and fog bulbs. It's more involved with fog light replacement bc you have to remove the wheel liners PARTIALLY. NO need to take the wheel off, just turn the steering wheel to the opposite side of you are working on.

Wear some gloves (nitrile).....so you don't get any skin oil on the new bulbs.

You may have to move the black intake hose (2 clips) and the coolant neck (couple screws or clips). I had to move these guys to get the HID bulb and wiring in
