'''Replacing '''headlight bulbs on Pontiac '''Vibes
OK - I've done this - no tools needed unless you are '''replacing the plastic lens. The space is tight around the coolant reservoir or battery area, but if you are nimble, you can '''replace the bulbs without removing equipment.
To '''replace the bulb, unplug the socket from the headlamp.
Remove the rubber dust boot from around the bulb's base.
Slightly bend the side of the retaining spring clip which isn't seated with a screw - it will pull back from its tab and swing out of the way on its hinge.
The bulb is now free and can easily drop - pull it out carefully.
Make sure your new bulb isn't touched by your finger prints or other grease/oils - if so, cleanse with alcohol. If a halogen bulb gets smudged, it will shorten the life of the bulb due to hot spots on glass where the smudge was.
Once new bulb is '''in place, hold it down '''in its seat, being careful not to let it drop or get smudged, while you reapply pressure with the spring clip.
Reinsert the clip under its tab, reinstall the rubber boot, reconnect the socket, and you're done.''''''''''''''''''''''''

How do you replace the headlights in the 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan?
I need to replace the bulb on the driver side of my 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan. After searching this forum I found a similar question regarding the 2000 Caravan. It talked about under the hood removing three screws and pulling out the headlight assembly. I tried this and it worked on the 2003. 1) open the hood. 2) Carefully remove the three screws holding the headlight assembly in place. In my case the screws were black. Be careful as they are screwed into plastic. 3) Carefully slide the headlight assembly out. At this point you can replace the headlight bulb, turn signal bulb, or the entire headlight assembly. To replace the headlight bulb turn the collar holding the bulb in counter clockwise. Pull the bulb out of the headlight assembly. Replace the bulb. Insert the bulb into the headlight assembly insert the collar and turn clockwise until it locks. 4) Carefully insert the headlight assembly back into place. 5) Replace the three screws removed in step 2 being carefull not to over tighten.
