Mazda 626 - headlights - artlat

Hi, Reading all the forum pages about headlights, Xenon etc., I wonder if there is a schedule of cars that can easily have replacement bulbs fitted. The bulbs on my Mazda 626 can be changed in seconds.....lift the bonnet, unclip the protective cover at the rear of the lights, swap bulbs, job done. This was equally true of my previous Carina. Is it that the Japanese are more customer friendly?

All new cars from Jan 2013 must have all bulbs easily changed by the driver EU regulation.

Whether they do is another matter.
