In most headlights, the rear of the lamp body can be removed, giving good access to the bulb and bulb holder.

If the bulb has broken, the safest way is to remove any remaining glass to prevent cuts and then remove the bulb with pliers. Remember some bulb fitting may need pushed into the holder before they will turn.

If it cannot be turned, it is sometime possible to use needle nose pliers to twist the metal bulb base until it either snaps or is so distorted it can be removed easily.

How can I determine if a headlight bulb is blown?

To determine if a headlight bulb is blown, visually inspect the bulb for any signs of damage or discoloration. If the filament inside the bulb is broken or appears blackened, the bulb is likely blown.
