Changing headlights

A headlight burned out on my car. The idea was to have some friends help change it when I was with the group going to Spain next year last weekend. Forgot about it until I was driving to Chicago again. Just changed it in the parking ramp this morning. Luckily it was just a twist and pull, so I didn't need to hold my smart phone flashlight to see what I was doing. The hardest part was lifting the hood up and getting the brace in place. Ended up using my head to push it up far enough to lock the strut in place. Low beam burned out, high beams are never used, they would require a usable left hand or incredible skill reaching over the steering wheel with the right hand. But if we still had dimmer switches on the floor I would have enough control with the left foot to do that.
