VW headlight change...
So my friend Jenny told me that my headlight was out. This would be an easy fix on any non-German car but alas I own a VW Beetle circa 2001. So I found an online article 3 years ago.. I tried to find it.. no luck. But wait, I found the printout that I kept just in case! So I pressed the secret x marks the spot place inside the hood of the car near the headlight, and pushed the lever (these are not obvious btw) and out came the headlamp.
Unclipped the wire that was holding it to the car.
Then I took the lovely piece to the kitchen and unhooked the clips on the side of the casing, and then the wireclip holding the bulb. Used a paper towel to hold the new bulb (halogen bulbs do not like oil from our hands). Reversed the process and put it back in the car!
And voila instant fix. :) Saved the $70 the dealership charged my coworker for the same thing.. cost of the bulb $7 from Walmart!

Great job taking some time and doing it yourself. So I'm thinking of restoring a 67 chevy next week you think you can get on that for me?
