Replace a headlight assembly on a 1997-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Tools you will need
- No. 2 Torx driver
- Rust penetrant
- Wire brush
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
Remove the side marker light's screws with a No. 2 Torx screwdriver, pull the headlight out, unplug its harness, then clean the studs with a wire brush and spray them with penetrating oil.
- Install the new headlight assembly
Plug in the harness, clip the new headlight into place, then screw the side marker light assembly back in with the Torx screwdriver.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
