Question Headlight

Guys/Gals,

Need help on how to change the headlight bulbs without going to the dealer. I made the mistake going to the dealers couple months ago due to not knowing how to change the bulbs...thought I could do it on my own but couldn't. So trying to avoid $600.00. Ironically, the same headlight burnt out so instead of changing both (to get the even effect) I thought I can try again on attempting to change the burnt out light myself without going to the dealership. Made that mistake once and hate to do it again. Please help me? Advise?

changing the bulbs in the light is not as hard as it seems. All you really have to do is jack up the car, take the wheel off and remove the top part of the plastic in the wheel well facing the head light and all the bulbs are right there. Shouldn't take you that long to do it.

+1

once you pull away the plastic lining in the wheel well you will have clear access to the whole back of the light and all the bulbs will be clearly available to you. i found it easier to remove the 2 10mm screws on the bottom of the bumper closest to the outside of the car (you will see them if you look under the car right near the wheel). makes it easier to pull away the lining

goodluck
