Copy of Text regarding changing the bulbs:


___________________


Do not remove lamp bulbs unless they will be replaced immediately. If a


bulb is removed for an extended period of time, contaminants may enter


the lamp housings and affect performance.


Handle a halogen bulb carefully and keep out of children’s reach.


Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base and do not touch the


glass; the oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next


time that the headlamps are operated.





Replacing headlamp bulbs


1. Make sure that the headlamps are turned OFF.


² Coupe


² Sedan/wagon


2. Open the hood and disconnect the headlamp wiring socket from the


in-line connector. This will make it easier to change the bulb.


3. Remove the protective dust shield


from the housing by turning the


dust shield counterclockwise (when


viewed from the rear).


4. Release clip and disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb.


5. Remove the bulb retaining ring by


rotating it counterclockwise.


6. Without turning, remove the old


bulb from the lamp assembly by


pulling it straight back out of the


lamp assembly and replace.


7. Install the new bulb in lamp assembly by pushing straight in with the


bulb’s plastic base facing upward. Turn the bulb slightly to align the


grooves in the plastic base with the tabs in the lamp assembly.


8. Install the bulb retaining ring over the plastic base and lock the ring


by rotating it clockwise until it snaps into place.


9. Connect the electrical connector into the plastic base until it “snaps”.


10. Install the protective dust shield and lock the shield by rotating it


clockwise until it locks into position.


11. Connect the headlamp wiring socket to the in-line connector.


12. Turn the headlamps on and make sure they work properly. If the


headlamp was correctly aligned before you changed the bulb, you should


not need to align it again.

2. Remove headlight housing mounting bolts (there are 3 of them, 1 on the side and two on bottom)





3. Disconnect the electrical connector, unscrew the headlight bulb-retaining ring and withdraw the bulb.





4. Installation is the reverse of the romaval procedure, but handle the new bulb only with gloves or a clean rag.





5. If you need to adjust the headlight, there are two spring loaded adjusting screws above the headlight but below the top of the fender. Adjust accordingly.|||You don%26#039;t have to take the whole headlight out, I just changed my 2003%26#039;s yesterday.

Changing headlights on a 2002 Ford Focus?

One of the headlights on my car is out. We bought a new bulb today, but the auto parts store wanted something like $65 to put it in. It looks like it should be simple to put in but I am having problems. We were able to take the cover off, and remove the wires, but we cannot get the bulb out. There seems to be a wire clip holding it in; but I cannot figure out how to remove the clip to take the bulb out to replace it. How would I do it?





Thanks!|||be careful you dont break any plastic





The retainer wire is held in place on the bottom by a screw and clip on the bottom and is locked into a plastic clip on top. To remove the wire, push the wire down and towards the passenger side of the car, it will dislodge and you can then lower it to remove the bulb. Once the bulb has been changed, you want to replace the wire the same way to protect the plastic clip

Pop the hood. Look at the headlight from above. there should be two %26quot;torque-head%26quot; or %26quot;star%26quot; screws running don the side of the headlight. You have to remove both of those and take headlight completely out of the car. then twist the plug that holds the bulb. replace the bulb and reverse the process.

Is it necessary to reinstall the metal wire/clip "thingy" when changing headlight bulb in '03 Hyundai Elantra?

Today I changed the passenger-side headlight bulb in my 2003 hyundai elantra. in order to access the socket for the bulb, i had to remove this weirdly-shaped wire that was helping to hold the socket in place. i now don%26#039;t know how to replace the wire thing, because its shape is kind of confusing and i can%26#039;t see into the bulb housing well enough to figure it out. i also can%26#039;t look at the driver%26#039;s side to see how that one is held in, because of this plate that restricts my access to it.


i don%26#039;t have a manual, and can%26#039;t find diagrams online.


could someone describe how to put the wire in? or is it even necessary to do this? the screw-off cover to the lightbulb is in place, will that hold it in securely enough?|||Yes, you have to.


Mines a 2005 and it was a PITA to even get it off but you put it in what looks like sideways. I *believe* the curcey part goes in at the left and the part with prongs goes in at the right. You just have to squeeze the little prong things a little to get them to go into where they go.


Fiddle with it and you%26#039;ll figure it out :-)|||not 100% sure as there are different retainer clips for different cars. some will go from the bottom to top and some will go from one side to the other, i suggest take it to a mechanic or even a auto retail store and have them fit it, im sure they could`nt expect for you to pay anything for fitting it.|||It is necessary to install this %26quot;retaining%26quot; clip for it holds the bulb in place. And it is essential, seeing as how expensive the bulb is. The clip goes in at a wierd angle. Just got to work at it. Sorry.|||Ash,


THats right, its a MAJOR PITA to change these out. Not only does one have minimal space to stick one%26#039;s mitts in there, but that wire retainer takes a gawdawful amount of time to get back in. You%26#039;re not alone! Its a stupid design, but you have to get used to it. Try taking a look at the other side to visualize the position of the goofy little clip. Yes, it must be re-installed to keep the bulb in place.


I have a 2002 Elantra, and have gone down the same path of discovery as you. As time goes on you%26#039;ll get better at it.

Please help!!!|||Those have bolts that hold the headlight assembly 2 are at the top once you open the hood , another 2 bolts are below and you need to pull the fog lights out to gain access to them.Might be a great idea to buy a Haynes service manual they run about 20 bucks at walmarts etc.The reason I mention changing the whole assembly is bec it%26#039;s really easier and a saver bet to not just try and replace the headlight housing but to change the whole headlight assembly all at once bec screws are rusted etc and when you try removing them they brake the plastic and cause major headaches.











Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way another way to gain experience and maybe get a cheaper replacement part is go to a U pick auto wreckers.|||I just changed the headlight on 1996 Chrysler Concorde and the person that design the holding should be FIRED!

Changing headlight on Harley Davidson?

I changed my single bulb headlight to a dual bulb headlight. When on high beam only one bulb lights up. Any suggestions as to how to solve this problem?|||Frie1427 and JT could both be right.....you did not give ANY info as to what you did, what the headlamps were that you installed, etc.





ALWAYS...stae year, make and model and specify exactly what you did and what parts you used.





It%26#039;s one fo two things, either you wired the high and low beams backwards, or you don%26#039;t have th correct set-up.|||sounds like it%26#039;s miswired , the high beams should be BOTH filiments lit not just one|||When you say dual bulb do you also mean dual housing? It would help if you would give the year and model of the bike. Was this a kit or did you piece the parts to do it together? That way I could look at the wiring diagram and give you a fix for it. More than likely that%26#039;s the way it was designed to be but there is always a way to make both light up.

|||This is exactly why you should NEVER go to a dealership. It is IMPOSSIBLE to remove the headlight in the manner he states without breaking it. You must put a screwdriver down from the top to unclip the side light (use a flashlight to see). The side light pulls forward and the main light pulls up.

|||I own a shop, and have ran into this before. Its just stuck, and can be a pain to get it out. Try spraying some WD-40 around the assembly, and let it sit for a while.

Is there a trick to changing headlight switch?

I tried to change the headlight switch on my 1996 Cherokee last night. It is so hard to get to, and I couldn%26#039;t even get the entire dash panel off because of the steering column being in the way.





When you change it, do you have to go through the dash, or can you somehow do it from underneath?|||I have a 96 also, the smaller,Cherokee. You do not have to take the dash off just the knee pad? that is under the dash.


It is a pita to change out,it does have to be changed out from underneath.


What i found out on mine was it was not the switch at all but rather the fuse that is down there as well in the same area.





Look up NAXJA.com and do a search as there is a lot of info on this common Cherokee problem.





Go to that site and pm me if you like under Low Range,hope this helps.
