How do you change the headlight bulb in a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica?

Answer 1

CAUTION- Make sure when handling the new headlamp bulb that you DO NOT touch the glass of the bulb, oil from your fingers can crack the glass and ruin it. This is bad as it will blow the bulb much faster than and trust me, auto part dealers dont accept returns on many electrical components. You need to get your fingers underneath the headlight housing and pull up. It's not easy, especially if you have large fingers. I used a screwdriver to kind of pry up the light so I could get my fingers under it. Then lift up hard until you feel and hear a release. There is a small clip on the lower right side of the housing that holds it down. Once you have tripped that release then the light will slide right out when you pull it from the top. Again, you have to pull up pretty hard to get this clip to release. Once off you unclip the light from the power cable and remove the rubber cover (circular) that's like an end cap on the back of light housing. It's just held on by the rubbers elasticity. Once off you can see the bulb down in the housing. You need to reach in and twist the bulb to the left and it comes out. If you have big hands this is a problem. The hole that you put your hand in to grab the bulb is not very big. I had to ask my son to do it for me. Change the bulb and then put it back together again. There is a bolt/screw on top of the brace above the headlight remove it and pull the headlight housing out remove bulb as above and replace using needle nose pliers unless you have hands like a women and they fit the small hole
