I wanted to changed my headlights to white lights in my 2000 Subaru Impreza RS but i don't know how. I unplug the power to the bulb but cant get the bulb itself out of the light mount. I can touch the three prongs where you plug the power into but it won't budge. Do i have to take the whole light housing out? Give me instructions please-
How do you replace the Headlight bulb in a 2000 subaru impreza?
The rubber thing is covering the clips. Pull the rubber off and you'll find the clips under it.

Look for a retainer spring just below where the power connector is located. If you can remove the retainer spring, the bulb holder will be easy to remove.

Can't believe changing a headlight (2005 Acura RSX) is this hard, but....?
Every book at AutoZone/Wal Mart that I've looked at has given me part numbers to L shaped headlights. meaning, the bulb points up and the prongs point to the side.
When I pulled the old bulb out, the bulb points up and the prongs point down.
the prongs are the same, and it appears like the L shaped bulb would somewhat fit, but I figured I'd ask around before opening the new bulb and trying it.
If anybody can lend some advice I'd appreciate it.
And if I need to answer any questions, I'll be glad to if it will help get me answers

Vehicle has two bulbs, high beam (9005) and low beam (H1). The H1 is straight with a metal tab for the connection, the 9005 is L shaped and the connector is plastic.
I also checked with an Acura OEM replacement website and it shows the L shaped 9005 bulb as factory. Someone may have put a 9005XS bulb in it's place either because they bought the wrong bulb, or wanted to be different. Here is a link to the headlamp assembly:

I went to this link http://www.autopartswarehouse.com and found this number. Part # sy-h1st looks like you may have the wrong part. Hope this helps.
Its all about the details.
A 9005 bulb is the regular style with the L bend connector, a 9005XS is in-line. Just ask the guy at the parts store counter for a straight 9005 and if s/he is remotely competent they will set up up with the right stuff.

How on Earth do you change the headlight in an 03 Chevy S-10??
There is a steel plate behind the headlight assembly which makes it virtually impossible to access the twist thingy that holds the halogen headlamp. What am I missing?

you may find either a piece of plastic or metal that will slide up and allow you to move the headlamp assembly forward and out so that you can get access to the bulb.

I may be wrong, but there should be 2- 7mm headed bolts sticking up that you remove. They kinda look like maybe they are to adjust it, but look close and you'll see the adjustment bolt 'way further down. Pulling the 2 bolts lets the whole %26quot;bucket' come out

How to change a headlight?
The headlight burned out on the driver's side of my '96 Toyota Corolla. Does anyone know how to change it? Does the battery need to be removed? We tried removing a couple of screws to detach the lamp from the car, but that didn't work. It looks like there may be a couple of bolts that require a wrench to remove them - do those need to be taken off? This is quite frustrating! Help!

go to autozone they will change it free of charge.

You don't have to change the headlight, reach inside the
hood, and just change the %26quot;bulb.%26quot; unless the headlight itself
is broken.
If you need the whole headlight changed. Let a specialist do
it, because, it has to be %26quot;alligned properly.%26quot; As not to shine in
the other drivers %26quot;eyes.%26quot; It is a safety issue.%26quot; %26lt;}:-})
shouldnt be that hard surely ? most headlights bulbs just twist and pull (in a plastic unit) from the back of the headlight ???
Usually the lamps stay intact, and the lights pull inward. Look for the wire from under the hood, and see if there's something you can do to pull whatever the wire hooks up to out of the headlight and into the under the hood area.
I don't Know that's a hard Question
You should be able to change the bulb without having to remove the whole headlight unit.
There should be a round rubber seal at the back or plastic cover
Once these are removed you should be able to see the bulb and retaining clip.
And there is no need to disconnect the battery while you do it.
If you still have your owner's manual, it's definitely in there. (Very funny, a couple weeks ago, we changed the headlight to my boyfriend's -- surprise -- '96 Toyota Corolla, and we used the manual.) Unfortunately, I can't remember all the details, but I'll tell you what I do recall.
The right (passenger side) headlight is very easy to change. You just have to unhook the cable/wire leading to the headlight, twist the bulb to unlock it, pull it out, put the other one in, twist to secure, rehook the cable, and you're set. The left (driver side) one, however, requires you to take out a part -- air filter, perhaps. It's not difficult, just requires more work. If the bolts you're referring to are on the inside of the front of the car, no, you don't have to unscrew them.

How do i change the headlight in a 1998 mercedes c280?
i know the assembly is removed from the rear of the headlight housing. Do i remove the air filter intake or remove the headlight housing? If either, how?
Thanks.
How do i change the headlight in a 1998 mercedes c280?
it can be done without removing anything...it's just a pain....if you choose to remove one of the two,go for the air filter housing....it's allot easier....do not mess with the head light assembly,they are a little tricky and you could scratch the car....
How do i change the headlight in a 1998 mercedes c280?
It really depends on the size of your hands. If you have smaller hands, getting in and accessing the bulb is relatively easy compared to if you have larger hands. Yes, you can remove the air filter intake and the top of the air filter housing if that makes it easier for you but it may not be necessary.
As noted above, do not remove the entire housing. The back of the housing is plastic and if anything breaks, you have to buy a complete assembly as the housing only is not available separately.
Thanks.
