How to Approach Changing a Headlight Bulb
Changing a headlight bulb requires a problem-solving approach and an open mind. For many vehicles, simply opening the hood and reaching behind the headlight housing will enable you to grab the bulb and pull it out. Other vehicles require you to remove the bulb housing itself first before changing the bulb. If these approaches don’t work for your car, then you may need to pull back the plastic wheel lining or pull out components that are in the engine bay that are in your way. Regardless of how you access the bulbs on your vehicle, you want to have some basic hand tools such as a screwdriver, gloves, small socket set and eye protection. Another tip: look up your vehicle on carcarekiosk.com to see exactly how to change the bulb before setting out to do it.
