How do you change 2002 Chevy Prizm headlights?

Answer 1

Start on the left side it is the easiest one to get too. You have to remove that little box with relays in it on the left hand side just above the headlight...you will see two bolts holding it on. Once removed you will have access to the passenger side headlight. You have to remove the boot by pulling and kind of twisting, but make sure you unplug the connector from the headlight. After that is all apart you will see the bulb itself. You need to pull back on the little metal clip holding the headlight in (the part to release will be on your left if facing the back of the car for the passenger side and vice versa for the driver side...it kinda of swings open like a little gate). Once moved the bulb will practically fall out. When putting the new bulb in make sure the little tabs are in the right spot. The biggest one should be pointing up. Replace the bulb, put the little retainer clip and your good on the passenger side. The driver side bulb is just as easy but you must remove the battery to access it. Start by removing the top of your air intake tube. (Very simple just a little push clip). Then remove the battery hold down by taking off the bolts. (All bolts involved in this procedure are going to be a 10MM DEEP WELL SOCKET.) Remove the battery cables, then remove the battery. Follow the same procedure for this side as the passenger side....put everything back the way it was and your good to go. Hope this helps.
