Open the fender well. There are little plastic screws holding on a sheet of plastic. Peel it back a bit and look in there with a flashlight, you should see the bulb. If you want turn the turn signal on so you can see it flashing. Twist the socket, switch the bulb, twist it back in, put plastic back on, done.

 

thanks that helps a lot. also i think that it might also be a short or something. how do i take off the headlight assembly?

 

on the 4th gens you have to take the wholw bumper off to get to the headlight. not sure if thats the same deal for 2002

 

you'll need to remove the whole bumper. there's a bunch of plastic tabs to remove on the bottom of the bumper, 1 screw in each of the fender wells, 2 screw on the bottom (1 each side, near edge of bumper), and 2 tabs on top of the grill. then tug the bumper off... underneath each headlight assembly there's a metal bar that you'll need to remove. 3 bolts on that... then one bolt on top of the headlight. slide the headlight out towards the front, unplug bulbs, and done.

installation is obviously the reverse.

btw, putting the bumper cover back on is a lot easier if you have another person there to help you.

 

yep bumper must come off. it is only like eight screws. posted from my smart phone
