Some things are problematic on the 2011 Lincoln Navigator L. To access the spare tire, you will have to lower it from under the vehicle first. This can be a problem, as the lowering mechanism can grow rusted to the vehicle and be difficult to turn. You will have to remove torx bolts in order to remove the tail light housing for access to the bulbs. Changing the headlight bulbs will also be tough, as you will need a few tools to remove the housing for access. The tools necessary may not be readily available for a repair.
