Tires and daylight running lights

[sgparnes]

2011 Ex LTD 49000 mi. Just put new Bridgestone Alenza Plus with 80k warranty. Purchased at Costco. I have daytime running lights set and have had to replace both bulbs at different times. Not an easy task. You have to break the entire headlight assembly free so to get your fingers behind the bulb to remove it. Don't remove the assembly just move it some. These are "eco" tires, so Ill see if mileage improves. No other problems and we are very satisfied after 3 years.

The bulb changing part doesn't seem right. This is what the Owner's Guide states;

Replacing headlamp bulbs
1. Make sure that the headlamp control is in the off position.
2. Open the hood.
3. Remove the bulb cover.
4. Turn the bulb base
counterclockwise and remove it.
5. Disconnect the electrical connector.

WARNING: Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep
out of children’s reach. Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base
and do not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the
bulb to break the next time the headlamps are operated.

That seems quite straight forward.
