How to remove a headlight assembly? You may need to replace the whole car headlight assembly due to a burnt bulb or a worn lens and reflector. What should be done specifically?
Remove headlight assembly
It would help if you prepared these tools when removing a headlight assembly: a pair of mechanical (or latex) gloves, a flashlight, a flat-blade screwdriver, a small box of sockets, and a couple of needle-nose pliers. Some tricky car models may require the removal of various splash guards, air filter housings, and washer fluid bottles.
Step 1:
Open the bonnet to find the two bolts on the top of the headlight, then use a wrench or socket to remove them. Now gently slide the entire assembly out to release the headlamp bracket tabs from the slots on the sides.
Step 2:
Afterward, you can see the bulb base in the headlight assembly, pinch the wire clip next to the base, and take out the bulb after the clip is released.
Step 3:
Disconnect the electrical connectors from the headlamp and parking lamp sockets. Once we free the bulb headlight from the base, we can replace the headlight harness.
Step 4:
Locate and remove the screw between the headlamp and parking lamp on top of the assembly. Then remove the old headlamp harness, and you're done.
