Default ford designers on drugs?

why in gods name would the designers of the mustang make it so easy to pull the headlight assembly.......2 tabs........and make you have to take apart half the trunk to change a taillight bulb? it's freaking idiotic how involved that process is..........comparatively.

Some Dodge/Chryslers (sorry for using that kind of language in "polite" place) require pulling the front wheel off to get to the battery.

that's all pretty funny but the head lights and the tail lights are similar.....both lights.......both plastic assemblies.....yet one comes out extremely easily and the other is really a pain in the ***. it's ridiculous........but our engine comes out the top.........i had never heard that bout the camaros.

I agree with you 100%. Just did a replacement of a bulb on the taillight.

some people like to drag with the headlight on the intake side for extra air flow. for that purpose it is great and comes out in seconds.


but yea, ford build quality leaves much to be desired
