Determine How Many Bulbs You Need
To maintain even lighting on the road, it is always advised to repair both headlights at once. By observing the headlights, which have two transparent bulbs on either side, you may determine how many bulbs are required for high and low beams.
The high-beam bulb is typically found outside. When you know how many bulbs you'll need, either do some independent research or go to the store and ask a salesperson which bulbs would work best for your car.
Locate the Bulb Holder
Check that your automobile is parked before opening the hood. Locate the bulb holder by checking the owner's manual. There should be three wires coming from a plug with a trapezoid form.
Remove the Wiring harness
The plug is secured in place by a metal clip, screw cap, or plastic catch that needs to be removed by tugging, unscrewing, or gently pulling on a little lever. The plug will be in your hand once this is done.
Remove the Bulb
Once the wire is out of the way, you can rotate the bulb to make it looser before pulling the bulb out by holding the base.
Replace the Bulb
Hold the new bulb in position while changing the old one while wearing cotton gloves. Be careful since the grease on your hands can damage the new bulb.
Hook the wiring onto the new light and tighten the cover to complete the process. Turn on your car and check the headlights before you leave the house. Test the high beams as well!
Safety is Key
Although changing a headlight is not a particularly risky task, it never hurts to take precautions. Wearing gloves and eye protection whether handling the battery or working in the engine area is a smart idea. Disconnecting the battery is a good idea when working on electronics.
