Light Blub dead

[kouasupra]

My drivers side front light blub went out. Is it pretty easy to change out the light blub?

yes, it is pretty straight forward once you take a look at it. The directions to replace the bulb are in the owners manual. Its kind of tight but its really easy. When my driver side went out, the passenger side went out a few weeks later. So you may want to go ahead and do both.

Open your hood, twist and shout

Although it might seem counter intuitive it is much much easier to replace the bulbs with the headlamp in the OFF/DOWN position :smile:

All the replies appear to make making a certain assumption - are we talking about parking light or headlight?

Assuming you're talking about the headlight bulbs, yes, it's fairly easy. Look in the manual for a diagram on how to twist it out.

Any grease on the bulb glass can shorten its life and cause it to shatter. Before you put the new bulb in, use alcohol to wipe the glass portion off, and make sure you don't touch it with your fingers after that point.
