Replace the headlight assembly on a 1995-2002 Pontiac Sunfire.
Tools you will need
- 13mm wrench
- Flat blade screwdriver
Parts and supplies
- Headlight assembly
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, pull out the six push clips holding the plastic cover over the headlight and remove it, unbolt the two 13mm bolts securing the assembly (keeping track of the washers), 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 in the two 13mm bolts along with their washers, then refit the plastic cover and its push clips.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
