I had the same issue with the cheaper bulbs. Sylvania sent me some higher end bulbs and have had no issue for years. (I hope that saying that will not bring on a burn-out;)
You will need a 10mm socket with an extension that is at least 10 inches long. You need to remove the headlight assembly. Once you remove the bolts on top of the assembly there is one more bolt down low which is almost impossible to get to without that extension. Once the assembly is loose, unhook the various connectors. Now the whole assembly should come out easily. The low beam headlight is held in by a spring clip. Don't touch any glass part of the new bulb and do use the electric grease they will try and sell you at the register. Once the bulb is changed it is just a matter of reinstalling the connectors and the bolts.
The headlight on an 03 baja are a double element bulb for high an low beam. I replaced mine with 9007 bulb from auto parts store. Be careful to pay attention to bulb position, they can be installed up side down having the high beam as your low beam. I would shine the lights up against a wall or garage door and flip your high and low beams on and off to see how the shine.
Just unscrew the screws holding down the black tabs on top of the
headlights and you have to gently pull the headlight out , be careful
because the bottom of the headlight has a tab holding it in place (be
patient might have to move it around to release the bottom tab). And do
the opposite when putting the new headlights on. Even if the bottom tab breaks. the tabs on the top will old the headlight in place. Once it's changed, you'll need to re-aim the headlights...
The adjustment screws/nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly,
behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail by the radiator
support.
You will have vertical adjustment screws for each independent beam
(separate highs and separate lows, but will be same screw if highs and
lows are the same bulb). You may also have additional horizontal
adjustment screws as well
Park
your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height
from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams
and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same
bulb, only do it for the lows)
For Low Beams: If the headlights read VOR, then
aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall.
If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.
For High Beams (if separate from low beams): Aim the headlight directly at the line you marked on the wall.
Reach beind the headlight and just unscrew the cap that holds it in. However don't touch the new bulb with your bare fingers or you will drastically shorten the life of the bulb.
its all the same the headlight is a complete unit you adjust both/ look for screws behind the headlight one each side one is for horizontal annd the other is for vertical Please rate my response thank you very much
