How do you relace headlamp bulb?

Answer 1

Hi, The replacement of the headlamp bulbs is fortunately, one of our easiest jobs we have with our car. The bulb is held in by a quarter turn ring. You need to unplug the bulb connector first, then turn the locking ring to release the bulb and remove the locking ring and bulb by pulling them back from the headlamp assy. Remove the locking ring and replace the bulb in the same way you removed the old bulb. One very strong note of caution, NEVER touch the bulb glass with your fingers! Touching the glass will absolutely shorten the life of the bulb, it puts an oily spot or area on the glass where heat will be stronger and eventually the bulb will fail. When you remove the locking ring take notice if there is a wave washer inside the locking ring, this ring keeps the ring tight against the headlamp assy. If your locking ring is real loose takes no effort to remove, the wave washer might have been lost on a previous bulb replacement. These wave washers can be purchased from a Chevy or Suzuki dealer and are pretty inexpensive. I hope this is timely for you and good luck. Steve H.
