Prop up your hood.

Make sure you prop your hood up with your hood prop rod.

Locate the back of the headlight you plan to replace the bulb in.

This will be directly behind the headlight assembly.

If you are replacing your left headlight, you may need to remove the battery to have enough room to do this replacement.

Disconnect the headlight.

Remove the rubber cover by pulling on the tab marked “Pull Top” away from you.

Release the bulb by pushing the metal fastener inward and then moving it upwards.

Insert the new bulb. Make sure the metal tabs fit correctly.

I’ve read that touching the glass on the bulb can shorten the life of the bulb, so try not to do that.
