Removing Headlamps

[Rich]

I bought new bulbs, but how do the lights come off?

Do you want to remove the entire lamp housing? or just the bulb assembly to replace the bulbs. Be more specific and I will be glad to help you..

to remove the headlamp assembly u need to remove the the 3 retaining clips on each one and then unplug the harnesses that attach to the bulbs. to remove just the bulb, unplug the harness, unscrew the collar and then pull out the bulb.

Yeah, there is a collar that connects the lamp to the lens, twist that counter clockwise and pull it out, then do the same w/ the bulb.

Do _NOT_ touch the new bulb's glass to any grease in the car or to your skin!! The oil will cause a hot spot on the bulb which will either shatter it when you use it the first time or severely shorten its life.

Also, if you bought over-wattage (80/100) instead of the standard 55/65 bulbs, be sure to replace the factory harness or you will do some serious damage to your electrical system!
