Ok, I started this account when I 1st got my TL... Yes I know the year I have is the "A-Spec" not the s-type! I was excited!

Now I have had the car for almost 2 years here are the items I need help with:

1. One of my headlights went out and it appears I can not just pop out the bulb and replace. How do I change the bulb?

2. My AC went out (I know it is the compressor) and I am over the 50k warranty... Any tips on the least expensive way to fix?

3. On the passenger side doors both of the little caps next to the handles have popped off. It looks like the tabs that hold them on have broke. I still have the old one any tips for keeping them on?

Thanks for any help with the above items!! I need to get to work tomorrow so any advice would be great!

 

i think a way you can keep the little handle thingy on the door, to hold that on, just use some masking tape, and make it a circle, sticky side out, and just put it on the inside and place it up there, you could use double sided tape, but that would make it a pain in the ass to take off later down to road. and i cant help you out on the other two problems, but someone will be able to help you with the headlights man
hope i helped some!
good luck

 

Even if you have to buy a new compressor it will be less than purchasing an extra warranty...

 

The easiest way for me when i changed my headlight bulb was to remove the bumper and pull the whole headlight out, that gave me more room instead of trying to fit my hand through stuff. And if i recall correctly the 04 headlights have a cover right over the bulbs that needs to be removed some can simply be turned if the screw on the cover hasn't been tightened but if it has your gonna need to loosen it and i think its one of those security hex bits. I hope this info. is helpful

 

The least expensive way to fix would be to go to your garage , they will order one for you. Now , the way the economy is , garages are lowering their prices on these kind of things not as high as usual.
