Right side
This is the side I started on and passed the harness through the hard cover as recommended by a shop that does the procedure.  What a MAJOR pain in the butt!  Ideally, it would be best to REMOVE the airbox in order to get enough space to maneuver around; a much bigger task than I cared to do after 3 hours of work involved already!  I have long thin fingers and trying to get the bulb in the socket, as well as the gasket into the hard cover, was quite difficult.  Anyone with thicker and/or shorter fingers would likely have an even more difficult time as the space is just too cramped around that area.
