You buy a headlight at any basic auto parts shop they will have your make and model in a database with the size you need. Its not a small bulb within the plastic the large light about the size of your hand is the bulb.
Open your top.
Unplug the bulb, its like unplugging a wall socket.
Unscrew the three screws around on the silver rim. The 2001 Wrangler Sahara uses a small "Torq" screw driver.
Srew out the setting behing the silver rim.
Push out the bulb into your engine reach around take it out.
Place new bulb in and hook it up so it stays attached when screwing everything back into place.
Screw everything into place.

How do you reset the anti-theft system on a 97 Pontiac Grand Am SE?
you can reset the theft system by placing your key in the ignition and turning it forward until the power comes on. The theft light will start blinking, do not attempt to start the car until the light has stopped blinking. this takes 10 minutes. It's a pain if you are waiting in a parking lot in the middle of winter but it beats taking a cab home.
If you are unsure if you theft system has been trigger the symptom is that your gas is shut off as soon as you start the car so your car will start but only for a second. This seems to be a problem with people installing auto-start systems. I have yet to find a way to bypass this system altogether.

Loosen the bleed screw next to the entry point on the transmission, open the clutch master cylinder (drivers' side rear corner of the engine bay), and let it bleed. It's helpful to use a hose over the bleed screw that goes into a bottle so you can watch for bubbles. Keep an eye on the fluid level as it should drop fast. Don't pump the clutch or hold it down. The bleeding is supposed to just happen with gravity. Good luck

How do you install a RPM gauge on a 1994 grand am?
hmmm... to be absolutely sure I have to check under the hood. But for right now, from the top of my head ... here's what you look for. Locate the ignition coil packs. Its where your spark plug wires connect to (not the spark plug end - the other end). To be absolutely sure there are three of them and each coil fires two cylinders (plugs). Now look carefully where these coils are sitting (its the same plate they are connected to) - that's your ECM module. Now on the left side of the engine (if you're facing the car its your right side - driver side) you shoud see 2 wire harnesses/plugs that are connected to the ECM module. Find the one with 5 (five) wires in it. The middle wire and I believe its white in color, is the tach wire. Just get a tap from that wire and you're good to go. Of course the rest (buying a Tach o meter and finding positive wire and ground) I'm expecting you to able to by yourself!!!
How to replace timing chain in a 1993 grand am 4 quad engene?
Well the book says to support engine and take off cover. but you have to take the motor mount off, from car and engine(3 bolts on engine) probably wont be able to get them off. So instead of beating your head and fighting it, Pull the engine would be easier, I just did one and that was beat way. Chiltons manual would be good to have on hand. good luck

What is ticking sound in 2002 grand am?
well it could be a number of things. assuming it's coming from the engine.... it's more than likely a valve or your timing chain and the associated components are getting worn out. witch would also result in ticking valves. especially if it has over 100k and the chain has never been replaced. first thing i would try is give it a fresh oil change and sub out one quart of oil for Lucas motor oil. it does miracle's! the best oil i have found id Valvoline max life synthetic blend. it's only $15 bucks at wal-mart and it's one of the best out there. especially for the price. If you find this doesn't help then it's back to the timing chain. If you aren't able to do the work yourself it'll be pretty costly. even if you do it's not cheap. I let my chain go and i ended up having to get a whole new motor!! once the chain goes the motor is worthless!! keep in mind that most repair shops do free estimates. Doesn't hurt to have a pro look at it! good luck!
