Steps
- Handle the new bulbs carefully
Avoid touching the bulb's glass with your fingers, since skin oil can burn into it and foul the light; clean it with rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth if that happens.
- Remove the old headlight assembly
Pop and secure the hood, remove the two 7mm bolts with a socket, ratchet and extension, unclip the three push clips holding the fascia around the headlight, pull the assembly out, then unplug the bulbs and harness.
- Install the new headlight assembly
Plug in the bulbs, reconnect the harness by clipping it in, line the assembly up and clip it into place, bolt back in the two 7mm bolts, then clip the three push clips back into the front fascia.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
