how to change a headlight?
In order to get to some of the screws, you will need to remove the front bumper...its no big deal, even if your a nooB. This involves 6 bolts total (I believe) as well as two screws. If you have a tech. manual, you should be able to do it no problem. After the bumper is off, you will see all of the headlight assembly and removal/replacement will be no problem. Do you need more specific info, or r u all set?
yeah i figured i had to take off the bumper but i was like were do i start..i'm sure i could figure it out...but i think i need a jack...cause my car is to low...i donno...so i need help...doin that..i guess or the know how...
you dont need a jack to change a headlight.
Bumper Removal:
Two screws behind each signal light in the bumper, and two screws in each wheelwell, then just pull it off.
Headlight removal:
Pull out corner lights, 88-91 take out two screws on side of light, 90-91 they'll just pull out(held in by clips).
Then theres 2 bolts on top of the headlight u take out, and two bolts on the bottom(which you can now access with the bumper off. Then just unplug the headlight and pull it out
Also, make sure if u have an 88-89 car, to get an 88-89 headlight. or a 90-91 car, get a 90-91 headlight.
