Headlamp Assembly or Headlamp Bulb and/or Cornering, Sidemarker, Park, Turn Signal Bulb Replacement - Raise and support the vehicle.
- Remove the push-pin retainers on the air deflector to allow access to fascia extension retainers.
- Open the hood.
- Remove the push-pin retainers that secure the appropriate side of the grille and fascia to the upper tie bar.
- Remove the first push-pin retainer past the center in order to allow the grille to flex.
- Remove the front fascia extension.
- Remove the bolt (2) that secures the front fascia to the fender.
- Loosen the bolt (1) that attaches the front fascia to the fender.
- Pull the front fascia forward to align the fascia studs with enlarged portion of the hole within the key slot in the fender.
- Gently pull the front fascia downward to disengage it from the front fender.
- Remove the 3 bolts that secure the headlamp to the vehicle.
- Disengage headlamp washer hose, if equipped.
Important: A high amount of force is necessary to perform the next step. - Pull the headlamp straight forward to disengage the headlamp ball stud from the fender socket.
- Reach behind the headlamp to disconnect the headlamp electrical connector.
- Pull the top part of the front fascia and grille assembly forward only far enough to remove the headlamp assembly from the vehicle.
- Remove the headlamp assembly from the vehicle.
- Remove the headlamp bulb cover from the headlamp assembly.
Caution: Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure. Handling a bulb improperly could cause it to shatter into flying glass fragments. To help avoid personal injury: • Turn off the lamp switch and allow the bulb to cool before changing the bulb. • Leave the lamp switch OFF until the bulb change is complete. • Always wear eye protection when changing a halogen bulb. • Handle the bulb only by its base. Avoid touching the glass. • Keep dirt and moisture off the bulb. • Properly dispose of the used bulb. • Keep halogen bulbs out of the reach of children.
- Remove the headlamp bulb from the headlamp assembly.
In other words, it is a pretty involved task, one that I would not recommend for the casual repair enthusiast. However, if you so shoose to do this, it can be done, simply take your time and lay things out on the ground or a work bench in the order in whihc you took them off and keep them grouped bolts or fasteners with the items removed such as fascias etc.. this way there is no confusion on reinstalling.
