Instructions to change a drivers side low beam headlight bulb on a Chevy Colorado or a GMC Canyon :

This is for the DRIVERS SIDE LOWBEAM. Other bulbs accessible from back. Check your truck. My trucks Drivers side lowbeam bulb is not accessible with out removing head light, your truck may vary.

Make sure you have plenty of time , if you rush you will have problems so go slow and do it right the first time.

> disconnect the parking light connections on the top of the parking lights .

> carefully remove the grill by sliding the four plastic tabs on the top of grill while gently pulling , then just pull the grill off being careful not to pull to hard . there are two snap connectors behind the parking lamps and three more along the bottom of the grill.

> with a socket remove the two 10mm bolts that secure the headlights. slide the headlights forward .

> this will give you enough room to change the bulb. I removed the connection first. I also put a clean sock on one hand to help handle the bulb without touching the new bulb.

> line up the bulb prongs and rotate clockwise until you feel it snap. inspect the new bulb to insure it is properly installed and all three prongs on the bulb are now hidden. double check through the lens.

>when reinstalling the headlight take a good look first to notice the two tabs on the bottom of the light . the tabs go in first then hold the light up and tight while you reinstall the two 10mm bolts. double check this to make sure both tabs are in . do not over tighten the bolts.

> use a flashlight to help align the grill push connectors. snap in the bottom of the grill first then behind the parking lights then finally snap the four connectors along the top of the grill.

> that's it ! take your time and you will have no problem.

take care, Black GMC Canyon Reg cab Z71
