    I was just reading instructions and they're saying you have to get to 4 screws to take the bumper and the front grill off, and I'm thinking, "Really? All I have to do with my Honda is pop the hood." I believe that's all I ever had to do with any of the cars my family has owned.

    Its 6 "pop out" plastic screws on top and 10 actual screws underneath the bumper. I found one that said turn the wheel out and undo the cover that separates the tire and the engine and pull it back then you can get to it. But I think you need to jack it up and even then people are saying its a real tight fit.

    The next time you buy a car, your litmus test is gonna be "how do you change the headlight lightbulbs? If it's hard I'm not buying it."

    You would be surprised how many manufacturers are going that route. especially with the HID bulbs, they don't want the consumer messing with them.

    correct, but at least the models Ford sell in europe mostly share platforms with the Mazda range. And I think they still share or trade a lot of parts and designs regardless of the reduced mutual share packages
