Is it hard to change your headlight on your vehicle?

I have a 97 plymouth breeze. My headlight is out.
Is it hard to change your headlight on your vehicle?
No harder than changing at light bulb at home...

The part store will have a book with your make, model and part number



good luck
Is it hard to change your headlight on your vehicle?
Turn the big plastic nut on the back of your headlamp and pull it out.... 9007 bulb for replacement and DO NOT touch the bulb glass with your fingers....reverse for installation or take it to the parts store and have them show you how its done
your a girl?? cant you get some guy to change it for you?? Just turn on the charm or give him that%26quot;lost%26quot; look.

Its not hard to change but it can still be done wrong. the newer bulbs cannot be touched with bare hands-- they can burn out as soon as you turn them on for the first time.

So its cheaper to get an experienced person to do it.
no rubber cover take off plug take off spring pinch at top pull out bulb now free put back reverse previous
This headlight has a small removeable %26quot;globe inside%26quot;,--- it plugs in from back! Get right # repalcement bulb, and do the following



Open hood, look behind headlight, there shoud be a big ring (about 1 1/2' dia) with serrations on it, turn it clockwise (from rear), it should %26quot;screw off%26quot;, pull back on base of socket (which has 3 wires coming out), - must be disconenected to get g bulb off!--- pull bulb from housing, remove new one from paper carton, -(avoid making fingerprints on it - (will make it burn out sooner)-- clean well with soft cloth or something to get all dirt or smudges off, - rotate to fit-- note has 3 little strips that line up with 3 little groves in headlight base!-- Insert %26quot;secrew on ring%26quot; (and %26quot;O%26quot; ring if it has one-- just as disassembled)!! plug in plug on back of bulb., and you are done! (the %26quot;O%26quot; ring is to keep dirt and moisture out)!



This is a very simple job doesn't take long, -- all you have to do is watch very carefully how it came apart and re-assemble parts on new bulb just the same!-- Maybe take 15 minutes if you really check it over very caredfully,- 5 if you have ever done anything like this before!
