How do you replace the headlight bulb located on a Isuzu Amigo?

Answer 1

I have a '99 Amigo. I know it looks more difficult than it actually is. If I can do it any one can! The bulb has a black ring holding it in place. Just turn it to the right, it can be a little difficult to turn it because it's in a tight space, but keep at it it'll loosen. Once you get the black ring unscrewed carefully pull out the bulb from the head light (back the bulb out slowly from the headlight and angle it downward when you are taking it out). Then push on the little button on the flat side of the bulb to release it from the socket and pull. This might also take a little determination because of the tight area but it will come out pretty easily. Change the bulb then put it all back together the way it came out. ** Note: Make sure you get the correct bulb because for some reason they make 2 different bulbs with the same part number 9004. My Amigo takes the extended vision bulb(9400 XV) that has a metal thing at the bottom of the bulb and it is a little shorter then the other one with out the metal thing. If you get the other one it will fit in to the socket but you will not be able to tighten the black ring on it. The books in the auto parts store don't say that there are 2 different types.
