Headlight disassembly on a '99...

Post by Dr. Evil »

So, how the heck do you disassemble the headlight on one of these things? I need to change the headlight bulb, but I can't figure out how to get the front off. I see the little set screw at the bottom, and the holes and slot on the underside, but how do these figure into the procedure? Thanks!

John,

suggest you open the screw and take off the front (which includes the chrome-ring, front glas and reflector). On the rear of the reflector you can see the plug which you need to unplug. Then open the metal clip and remove the bulb. Install a new bulb and reverse the same procedure.

All this should be well described in your manual.
