Change the headlight lamp for a 2000 Chevy s10 pickup?

Answer 1

Why not!! This is for the composite headlight but probably works for all headlights.

There is a vertical looking "pin" with a plastic cap on it, that you can only see by popping the hood. It is the one farthest to the left while standing in front of the vehicle - for the passenger side bulb(s). Pull that little cap off and you'll see an 8 mm or 7 mm hex threaded shaft. Undo shaft.

The second pin on the the passenger side is on the inside between the battery and the front end of the vehicle, and is horizontal (I think but am pretty sure). Same drill, remove cap and undo the threaded shaft. The battery hold down has to be removed and the battery slid back to gain the clearance that you'll need. On the driver's side you may have to remove the air cleaner assembly, to gain clearance.

Gently remove the headlight assembly at this point - through the grille, after you have disconnected the electrical connection from the back of the light assembly.

Twist the back of the bulb with your gloved hand. WARNING: Never replace a hot, warm or luke-warm bulb. Never touch the bulb surface on the old or replacement bulb. NEVER. Properly dispose of the old bulb.

Installation is the reverse of removal. The hardest part of this repair is finding the right size wrench or buying a small adjustable wrench that fits. The second hardest part is getting the battery hold-down to anchor properly.

Well that's all there is to it. Most parts stores will do this for you, if they are not busy.
