How do you replace headlight bulb on echo?

Open the hood and locate the wires going to the back of the headlight assembly. Unplug this connector from the lightbulb. Then pull the rubber cover off (don't unscrew it, just pull it off). There is a wire retaining spring holding the bulb in place underneath the rubber cover. You must push the loose side toward the headlight and lift it up to release this wire and then remove the old bulb. Put the new bulb in (orient so that the plugs are on top and sides, but no bottom). replace the retaining wire and rubber cover. Plug the connector back in.


How do you replace the headlight bulb on a 2007 Saab 9-3?

For the drivers side: lift up the battery cover. Gently pull on the windshield washer fluid reservoir, it will pull out making the light bulb cover accessible. Remove the rubber cover to the bulb you would like to replace. The bulb is now accessible, twist the bulb gently and pull it out. The bulb simply plugs into the electrical socket, so all you need to do is pull it out once you've removed it from the headlight. Reverse the steps to replace the bulb in to the headlight. Use caution not to touch the bulb with your bare hands as the oils from your skin will effect the life of the bulb, I recommend wearing latex gloves. For the passenger side remove the rubber cover to the bulb the follow the steps listed above.

How do you replace 2005 Hyundai accent headlight bulb?

Open the hood and look behind the headlight. You will see a rubber cover with a electrical plug and wires coming out of it. Remove the electrical plug by squeezing the sides while pulling. Then take the rubber cover of. The bulb will be held in place by a metal wire. The wire if connected to the body of the headlight at the top, and held in place by a hook on the bottom. Push down on the bottom of the metal wire and it will come off the hook, and the bulb will come out freely. Then put in new bulb and reassemble in the opposite way you dissembled it. Have fun.
