Not to hijack the thread, but I'm now appreciating the ST headlight housing after seeing what needs to be done to replace a bulb on my 2013 Dodge Ram pickup.
Figured I'd pop the hood, pull the old bulb out, and put a new one in, no biggie. Wait, the bulb isn't visible, its hidden inside some housing with no access port. Go online, see that I have to remove a top cowl above the radiator/grill that runs the width of the truck, then remove the entire front grill assembly. Then I can get to the bolts to remove the headlight housing, but have to open up an access panel in the wheel well to reach a plastic retainer clip, and then finally I can pull out the housing from the frame and access the bulb. I always gave Honda credit for hiding the most basic things behind a million fasteners, they'd bow in praise of the Dodge engineers who dreamed up this assembly. Nothing all that complicated, but cmon, over a dozen fasteners to change a headlight bulb, all so the dealership can make more money on simple service items.
