Changing headlight bulb in 2000 chevy cavalier?

I%26#039;ve removed the two screws that hold the headlight assembly in place. According to the owners manual it should come out. It still feels like there%26#039;s a screw holding it in. Anybody know what to do?|||Once you remove the two bolts that hold the headlamp assy you should be able to pull the assy foreward.These two bolts are the only thing holding the assy in place.Best of luck.|||Its not just stuck like these guys say. It is held in place in another spot. I broke it by listening to these clowns. Master mechanics..... yeah ok.

|||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.

|||After you unscrew the bolts holding the assembly the screwdriver goes down a hole in the top of the assembly. Use a flashlight to see. Push in the clip with the screwdriver. The side light pulls forward and the main light pulls up. I just finished doing it and it works great if you know how

|||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. Grasp the assembly, and give it a quick yank forwards, and it should come out, but I have seen them break before the would come out. Also; Look closely around the edges of the assembly, and even run something thin around it to make sure something else isn%26#039;t broke and/or fell down obstructing the removal.


Glad to help out, good Luck!!!
