Can be done tho. Bulb won't sit right and may need to be kept in place by hand as it may not stay in contact with the pins to work.

More likely! .... he doesn't suffer the same level of 'brain fade' I may potentially endure!

D1 light replacement is 'supposedly' made quite easy ... supposed to be easier than the D2 variants .. remove the rear access hatch on trim, hand inside the pillar, twist the bulb holder ... totally tooless.
Not mine! Either I've lost 99% of any strength in my wrists, or someone superglued the bulb holders in the last time prior to my turn to get hot under the collar over them. All others easy peasy, as designed. Just the tailbrakes madenningly hard to remove. So had to pull it all apart, and everything is on the inside. Again should be easy .. but not mine.
In the end, I was so frustrated by them, I did accidentally 'brain fade' my way through their install

So, can you install them wrong .. yep .. can you break the glass getting them in and/or out ... for sure.
