So I replaced the headlight like a champ before progress ground to a halt. Achievement unlocked; did not loudly crash out emotionally in the garage over what's theoretically easy car maintenance, and oh yeah, I guess I have nice new wiper blades too. The last time I did this I had a Ford with flimsy little clip things, this time required prying off the guard on the new blades, figuring out the right adapter and working it down on a set of tabs before "just clicking it into place."

Owning a VW puts some less than great WWII German design decisions into perspective like "what do you mean, replace the road wheels in the field?" "what's wrong with the fighting compartment getting up above 100 degrees F?" or "why shouldn't the hydrogen peroxide tank be right next to the cockpit?"
