1. If you did not put spare bulb in glove compartment for emergancies (for shame!), buy H7 bulb (W-Mart is best bet). Should be about $8.00 each. The two pack is a better buy.

2. Open car hood. Behind the bulb is a black plastic "peanut butter lid" type of cap that seals the bulb in the housing. Unscrew this cap (1/16 turn) and PUT IT SOMEWHERE SAFE.

3. You will now see back of bulb. Pull off the power wire.

4. At top of bulb is a tension wire holding bulb in place. Unhhook the wire and it will hinge down out of the way.

5. Remove bulb (note its orientation) and discard.

6. Take new bulb out of package, but DO NOT TOUCH GLASS. Only hold bottom. Finger oils on glass will cook and reduce bulb life. Wipe glass clean just to be sure.

7. Install new bulb using same orientation as old bulb (it will not fit any other way) and re-latch the tension wire. Re-attach power wire (a dab of dielectric grease here would make for a professional job).

Get black cap from your safe place, note which part is bottom, and screw back on (1/16 turn).

8. Test the light, close the hood.

9. Put spare bulb in glove compartment so that next time bulb dies and policeman pulls you over, say "If I put a new bulb in now, can I avoid the ticket, officer sir?"
