How to Replace the Headlamps on a Pontiac Grand Prix

Its important to replace your cars headlamp bulbs as soon as they stop working. Failure to do so can result in a ticket or, even worse, cause an accident. Replacing the headlamps on a Pontiac Grand Prix may seem intimidating to those who have little or no experience working with vehicles, but the process is surprisingly straightforward.

Instructions

    1

    Open the vehicles hood and turn the engine off. Wearing protective gloves, locate the metal retaining clip above the headlight and use a socket wrench to remove the bolt.

    2

    Pull up on the retaining clip while pushing back on the headlamp and align the marking on the retaining clip with the notch on the headlamp. Pull the headlamp assembly out of the vehicle.

    3

    Remove the bulb socket ring from the headlamp assembly by turning the ring counterclockwise. Pull the old bulb out from the socket and place the new bulb in.

    4

    Reinstall the bulb socket ring by placing it back onto the headlamp assembly and rotating it clockwise. Place the headlamp assembly back into the vehicle.

    5

    Push down on the retaining clip while at the same time pushing back on the headlamp to ensure that the headlamp assembly is secured into place. Place the bolt back into its initial position and securely tighten it.
