nope, it is just a royal pain to do. most people who change the bulbs end up with bloodied knuckles. there really is no easy way to do it, other than having someone else do it for you. a lot of auto part stores offer free installation with the purchase of small items like bulbs, wiper blades and batteries. i would suggest you go there if you do not want to attempt it on your own.

Best tip is to go for bulbs that don't blow every five minutes an then you only have to do the job once....lol
I saved the knuckles on my hands by payin local auto spark to do the job for me.
16 bulbs between the X and the Saab cost me £20, best £20 I spent on her probly .lol

I did spend some good money on them. They are THE best bulb you can buy in any of the autoparts stores here in Michigan and they are garbage. I recently bought these ones a little over a week ago and they were only 20 bucks and they are 100watters so they look so much different than the others. I'll try to get a pic to show the difference from the regular sylvania and the new one I bought. Stand by for pics...
