Step 1

Repair step

  • Prop up your hood.
  • Make sure you prop your hood up with your hood prop rod.
Step 2

Repair step

  • Locate the back of the headlight you plan to replace the bulb in.
  • This will be directly behind the headlight assembly.
  • If you are replacing your left headlight, you may need to remove the battery to have enough room to do this replacement.
Step 3

Repair step

  • Disconnect the headlight.
Step 4

Repair step

  • Remove the rubber cover by pulling on the tab marked "Pull Top" away from you.
Step 5

Repair step

  • Release the bulb by pushing the metal fastener inward and then moving it upwards.
Step 6

Repair step

  • Remove the bulb.
Step 7

Repair step

  • Insert the new bulb. Make sure the metal tabs fit correctly.
  • I've read that touching the glass on the bulb can shorten the life of the bulb, so try not to do that.
