I even cut my hands all up So...tomorrow we're going to the dealership to get ripped off. I was told it will take 45 minutes...which I know is bull because I watched my dad change my other one and it took him all of 5 minutes once he figured out how to get the housing out. So any guesses at to how much money they're going to screw me out of?
I think you have the same ones I do Amy. You can get them out! There are two things that need to be done - a tab pushed in and a lever pulled up. I can walk you through it, I think. I've done it before.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.
