    Another rant on i hate fucking engineers. Changed the HID head lamp bulbs on the explorer. Because they are HID they are screwed in with screws not twisted in like normal bulbs. The hid screw directly to the projector housing which is inside the headlamp housing, which means you can't see the screw on the drivers side. Internet says the easiest way to change them is to remove the whole bumper and grill to take out the headlamp housing, fuck that. There are 2 T10 torx screws holding the bulb into the projector housing. My torx key was to short to fit inside the headlamp housing so i chopped most the handle off a t10 screw driver left a bit of a nub on the handle so i could still grip it and turn it. Then i had an inspection camera in my right had while i held the screw driver in my left while looking at the screen of the inspection camera. More then a few hours later, i had both of them changed.

    Wasn't sure if this should go here or the Tech Help Thead: Man Who 3D Printed a Lamborghini Aventador SV in His Garage

    Lamborghini heard about his project and proceeded to offer help and donated headlights, the dash, and steering wheel. I suspect Ferrari would have instead sent cease and desist letters.
