Best Answer

It helps if you use the headlight for reference. Also, take note of the position of the parts and how they are lined up as you remove them because installation is the reverse of removal. If you stand over the hood and look at the headlight from the side of the car, you'll notice that there is a black plastic cap that looks like the top of a plastic laundry detergent bottle. It has a couple wires attached to it and is directly behind headlight. Give this a slight twist and it will pop off. You will then be able to see the connector for the bulb. I believe it's blue. Grasp the connector and pull on it and it will come off of the bulb. Follow the end of the bulb up towards the assembly and there will be a plastic ring around the bulb that holds it in place. You will need to give this a twist (I believe to the left) and when it disengages, you can then remove the bulb. When reinstalling the bulb, be sure the slots on the plastic ring are lined up 12 o'clock 6 o' clock when you put the plastic ring back in place.
