No tools are needed to replace the low beam or high beam headlight bulbs.

You may need a 10mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet to access the turn signal light bulb.

Remove the round black plastic dust cover by turning it 1/4 turn counter clockwise.

Then wiggle off the high beam bulb's black plastic power connector.

The high beam bulb is held in place by a silver metal retaining arm that is hooked on the rear of the headlight assembly.

To release the arm, press down on the side closest to the passenger side of the vehicle, push it towards the front of the vehicle to unhook it, and then let it spring upwards.

Swing the metal arm outwards towards the rear of the vehicle.

Orientate the new bulb so that the metal tab is facing upwards and insert it into the headlight assembly.

Remove the black plastic dust cover on the back of the low beam bulb by turning it 1/4 turn counter clockwise.

Then pull it straight out of the headlight assembly.

(The Turn Signal light bulb is located at the corner of the headlight assembly past the low beam bulb. To remove it, turn the base 1/4 turn counter clockwise. A new turn signal light is part # 1157. If you have large hands, you may need to remove the headlight assembly by removing the 10mm bolts that hold it in place.)

Re-install the round black plastic low beam bulb dust cover by twisting it on 1/4 turn clockwise.
