How do you replace a headlight on a 2004 Chrysler concord?

Answer 1

The owner's manual shows that there are two screws on the top of the headlamp housing that hold the entire housing to the vehicle. Remove those two screws and then you have to slide the entire assembly out towards the front of the vehicle. This is the hard part as there is a clip that the bottom of the housing slides under that holds it down and you must slide the housing straight back to get it out. It's difficult because the housing is flush with the grill and body work so there isn't much room to grab. Just be patient and don't force anyting as it's all plastic. Once you've removed the assembly, unplug it from the vehicle wiring harness and then take the whole thing inside to work on. - Remove the rubber boot covering the lamp that needs replaced

- Remove the wiring connector

- Remove the metal retaining clip by turning counter clockwise... two small tabs on the clip slide under the two torx screws which holds the lamp in place.

- Replace old bulb with new one being careful NOT TO TOUCH THE GLASS PORTION OF THE BULB.

- Replace clip. This took the longest for me as I have big hands and had to do the whole thing using tools instead of reaching into the housing and doing it all by hand. You'll need a helper to level the housing while you work on the clip.

- Replace wiring connector. *** Test the lighting now before reassembling everything in case you have a bad bulb or connection. ***

- Replace rubber boot.

- Reconnect to vehicle wiring harness

- Slide housing straight back into vehicle, making sure the lower portion of the housing slides under the retainer in the bottom of the opening.

- Replace screws

Answer 2

This is how the instructions on my 98 jgc goes. There is a bulb that plugs into a socket dirctly behind the headlight. In order to access it you must lift the hood. Next, you will have to remove the plastic ring that holds the socket in the rear of the headlight housing. Twist the ring CCW (if you are facing the front of the vehicle)until it becomes loose and pull the socket and bulb through the hole. Then using a small flat tipped screwdriver lift out the little tab that holds the lightbulb on the socket and pull the bulb straight out from the socket. {Note: Pay Close Attention to the direction the plastic ring came out from, it is a pain to get back on if you don't. It will only go on one way...to hold the socket in place}

hope it helps you

2004 Chrysler Concord headlight bulb replacement: Purchase the correct replacement bulb(s) first, before disassembling the vehicle. See sources and related links below for replacement bulb information. Then consult your owner's manual for the replacement procedure. As simple as it sounds, the owner's manual is the best place to start for bulb replacement instructions. You may want to consider replacing both left and right at the same time in order to keep brightness and color equal (optional).
