It's so easy to replace the lights in your pacifica that even a girl like me can do it in under five minutes...


Above each light fixture are two screws, most likely they will take a flat-head or common screwdriver. Remove both of them.
The light fixture is ready to come out now. Take your screwdriver and under the front of the fixture gently pry upward and the whole assembly will pop right out. turn it over and remove the correct rubber cap for the bulb you need to replace (outside is low beam, inside is high beam. At least on my 05 anyway) Reach into the back of the fixture and turn the light and socket counter clockwise.
Unplug the old bulb and put in the new! Now just reverse the process.. Note: When putting the fixture back in place, make sure that the lip on the plastic bracket of the fixture goes over the metal frame that you removed the screws from!
Once the screws are in place, if you have not already, snap the bottom of the fixture into place and you are good to go.


Once I knew how to do it, I was able to do it in under 5 minutes and didn't even mess up my nails! lol


Good luck!

Look it over, get involved and remove whatever screws hold it to the body/fender etc. Most screws are Torx type fastners. No torx sockets or driver bits, your done before you start. Torx have been on veh for 25 years.

2003 Pontiac Grand Am brights work but ONE low beam is out ...

You most likely need a new low beam headlight BULB.It has the low and high beam in it and the separate high beam has only high.
You SHOULD have 2 tabs ,one at each end to pull up and the headlight assembly should then come out easily.
Tapping a blown out headlight can reattach the filament for a short time but after that replacement is necessary.

Having trouble with a 2010 tiguan . low beam right waring came on as well as rear left signal. I changed the front low beam warning still there and light doesn't wok. What is my next step?

Check grounding on the fixture. Usually the fixture only gets the 12v+ from switch. The 12v- comes from the fixtures mounting or it has a black wire that comes off of fixture and goes to ground.

Need to replace low beam light in my 2002 GMC Safari Van how do I do it?

Open the hood & near the top of the headlight you will see 2 bolts (10mm), remove them. You will notice the whole headlight assembly is loose from the top. Look down into the headlight assembly to the left & you will see another 10mm bolt that connects the outside light fixture. Remove the bolt & that light fixture will fall out (top first). Behind that light fixture you will see your last bolt when you look at the front of the vehicle. Remove it & now the entire light assembly will slide out & give you access to the both high beam & low beam bulbs. Hope this helps.

Both high beams do not work, but low beams do.

Need new lightbulbs. Lowbeam will still work evan after highbeam elament is burnedout in bulb. If separate bulbs are used for high and low beam,then change high beam bulbs only. If does not fix then check fuse or wires and make sure plug to bulb is in correct position. But probably just need new bulbs.

My right headlight (low beam) is out. How do I change the bulb?

Open hood, on left side of vehicle behind the light fixture look for white nylon clips that just lift
Pull up about 1.5" and they come free from the fixture. At this point the entire light assembly can be moved forward. Disconnect the wiring harness and the whole fixture comes out allowing you access to all the bulbs.
Reverse process to reassemble
