How Replace Front Headlight?
Can you show me the right link to take out the front headlight of my 01 Max? I heard it was difficult, but I don't want to break anything.

It's not. Disconnect harness, remove two bolts on top of headlight, and give it a hard pull towards you.

well its basically common sense...i mean, if you look where the bulb leads to, you can see where it physically connects to the headlight and just go from there....

its tougher to get to the driver side cause of the battery.
you have to squeez the two buttons on the harness, remove the rubber grommet, and unlatch the holder. Then, pull out the bulb.

it is a PIA to replace drivers side bulb. a screw driver was needed to pop the rubber seal because mine was frozen tight.
