So simple, sir.

1. Jack up.
2. Remove wheels.
3. Remove front fender well cover.
4. Remove headlight lid.
5. Remove retainer clip.
6. Remove bulb.
7. Install new bulb.
8. Reverse everything.

9.

You need H-7 for your high beams and D2R bulbs for the low beams.

I need a bulb replaced in my 03 headlight and I am not sure what kind of a bulb that is. I am posting a picture so that you guys know what I am talking about. Also is it hard or easy to replace these on your own? Can it be easily done as a DIY or does it need to be taken to a shop?

It's a small bulb in that small bulb slot towards the bottom left of the head light unit. Near the bottom of the red strip on the side, just at the bottom left of the whole unit.

I am on this Macbook I am not sure how to mark on pictures. On PC I would use Paint just dont know what software to use for this. I could have drawn a circle area around it and stuff to make it easier for what I am trying to talk about.


Also there is a light on top of the amber strip right? Cause on one side of car it lights up and doesnt on the other. What kind of bulb goes there?

Thanks!

Here is a link to the Sylvania website that lists all automobile lights. This should help you find the correct bulb.
