How many peeps to change a bulb?

On the 2005, got the old DRL/High Beam on the passenger side out on 3 minutes... 3 hours later, me and wifey trying to figure how to get the screwdriver out from underneath the motor. Seems I wanted to tighten the clamp ring around the bulb when the screwdriver slipped... it never hit the ground.

The coat hanger trick was empty fishing. So I used gravity. With the gully at the edge of the front yard, I pulled the car down into it and hit the brakes hard. The screwdriver rolled to the front where we could get it out from one of the openings underneath the car.

So far on the DIY on the car within the last 30 days: 1) blower motor replaced, bulb replaced, NAVI unit pulled to be serviced... in otherwords some dealer labor savings. Still to do is a fog light lens to replacement (maybe a DIY) and some upholstery work (non DIY).

I dropped a socket in there when trying to loosen the ATF fill port. Still haven't found it.
