How to change bulbs on a 2000 dodge neon?

Answer 1

On passenger side: First, I had to disconnect the A/C hose that is just behind the light to get more space to get my hands in there. Unscrew the little black cap (step back as you are unscrewing it as air will come flying out) then the bolt and set the hose aside. Then, pull the wiring/cables out from the lamp assembly. There is a tab holding it in place, just try to lift the tab to pull the wiring back. Then, there is a black grooved cap between the bulb assembly and the headlight. Turn that cap to the left to loosen it. Pull the bulb assembly out, and the cap will come out as well. Replace the lamp by lining it up with the metal grooves in the headlight opening. You may want to practice by replacing the old burned out bulb a couple times to get used to the process. It is not easy. Once you have practiced it, it becomes easy. Place the lamp assembly in, then replace the cap by getting it to catch in the grooves and turning it right to tighten it. Plug the wiring back in. Replace the A/C hose, and it is done.
