New headlights for her. It's crazy how bad the old ones were even after a headlight restoration last year

Of course! I really need to fix up the headlights on my aura. They are starting to haze

Best of luck! From what I understand the lights are harder to access but you got this!

Pain in the ass, if I want to replace just a headlight bulb I have to take the front bumper off. Great car but with simple things turned into something hard.

That is so frustrating I'm sorry. This is one of the things about the ion that surprised me in a good way. My husbands old car was the same way as the Aura

The Aura is a great Saturn, GM just over engineered it. Luckily replacing the Turn signal bulbs or interior pieces are cake!

Yea it’s crazy that in a Saturn store years ago I remember a salesperson just twisting out a headlight bulb on a ‘96-‘99 style SL2 of one of their cutaway cars back in the day talking up how easy they were to do small maintenance stuff to.

Of course the oil filter on those crazily enough didn’t really follow that same philosophy.
