Difficulty: Beginner · About 25 min · Pontiac Grand Prix

Replace a headlight assembly on a 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix.

Steps

1. 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.

2. Remove the old headlight assembly

   Open and secure the hood, pull up the two tabs anchoring the assembly, then pull it out and unplug the bulbs and harness.

3. Transfer the wiring harness clip

   Pry out the small metal clip with a screwdriver, then install it on the new assembly's harness.

4. Install the new headlight assembly

   Plug in the harness and bulbs, then seat the assembly and anchor it with its tabs.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
