Trying to get damn headlight bulbs out & I can't find manual
 
Does anyone have a link to this? Or know how I can remove these without taking the whole thing apart?? I can't remember how to do it, and the FAQ is missing a page so I can't find a link to an online service manual. I need your help guys.

disconnect wire harness
remove the rubber thing that covers and seals the bulb. you will see a metal piece shaped like a U that goes around either side of the bulb. at the top of each are tabs. squeeze those together then away from the bulb. bulb will slide right out

Pop the hood, locate the bulb you wanna' pull out, first unplug the wire, press on the metal brackets and pull out the bulb and make sure you don't hold it by the glass. Replace with new bulb, close brackets, and insert wire back.

I did my lights like 5 months ago, I forgot how to do it exactly. It's something pretty close to that.


Edit: I hate Soonerfan. :grinno:

Replacing the headlight bulb
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from
the rear end of the bulb.
3. Pull off the rubber cap.
4. Push and turn the retaining pin to loosen it.
5. Remove the headlight bulb. Do not shake
or rotate the bulb when removing it.
6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of
removal.

go to page 8-24 of the service manual for a picture
