How do you change daytime running lights on a 2008 BMW 535I?

On either headlamp assembly you can change the bulb (standard H8 Haologen bulb; around $12 - $15) with no tools. Be sure the engine is off and they key is removed from the car. Open the hood. Behnind the headlamp assembly (directly behind the bullet lamp) there is a round, black cover about 3" in diameter. Unscrew the cover. Unclip the power cable that runs to the lamp socket and push it out of the way. Rotate the lamp socket about 1/8 turn (22.5 degrees) toward the engine. Pull the lamp socket straight out. Put a new H8 Haologen lamp bulb in by placing it about 1/8 turn toward the engine and seat it in the lamp housing. Turn it in the housing so that the lamp socket is straight up. Clip the cable that you removed back onto the lamp socket, and replace the cover.

How do you replace the halogen head lamp in a 2002 Chevy Prism?

Open hood. On the inside (toward the center of the car) of each headlamp is a plastic clamp fixing one side of the headlamp. On the ouside from the top unscrew the bolt holding the other side of the headlamp assembly. Lift the lamp assembly out of the car and remove (pull off)the connector to the bulb. Next peal the rubber boot from the back of the headlamp assembly. This will expose a spring clip that holds the halogin bulb in the headlamp assembly. Remove bub and replace with a new bulb being carefull to only touch the bulb by its metal base connector. Do not touch the glass areas.

How do you check and adjust the headlamp alignment on a fiesta?

The beams of a headlamp should not converge or diverge. Measure the distance between the headlamps, then mark that same distance on a wall in front of the car, ensuring that the marks are directly in front of the headlamp. Turn on the lamps and use the adjustment screws to the inside and top of the headlamp to direct the beam to the marks.

How do you replace headlamp bulb in 2004 Volvo s80?

I have a 2000 Volvo S80 and am sure it's the same procedure. You will need Sylvanian H7 or equivalent bulbs for the car. Make sure the car is off when replacing Under the hood, behind the Headlamp assembly, there's a dome shaped cover. Unstrew this to get at the headlamps. There is a retaining clip that must be pushed, at the top, to the side a little and pulled down. You can now pull the lamp out and disconnect it from the leads. Just replace the lamp and reassemble before starting the car to check. Hope this helps.
