I'll tell you one thing.  I just changed the filter on my 4kq tonight, and even doing the "easy" way and taking out the headlight was HORRIBLE.  It is IMPOSSIBLE to get that damn thing in and out of the frame.  Îoes anyone have any tips on how to get it out without bending anything or scratchin the paint?
