My 2008 Saturn Outlook has a blown headlight bulb. I cannot find any info on how to change this. There are a few about headlight assemblies but it seems having to take the front end of the vehicle apart for a bulb is a little extreme. Most headlights in vehicles have quick latches but I cannot seem to find any on the Saturn???

Very poorly designed. You can try pulling inner fender wet off and see if you can access bulb. I have done this on arcadia which is same car. There are plastic plugs and screws, remove enough to get your hand in there.

SOURCE: headlight bulb

You have to remove the air intake filter and then kind of reach around up in there to change it. It can be done, but is a lot of work. On the duramax, it is even harder to do the driver side because of the dual batteries. You have to remove the battery, then the battery seat plate, and undo the winshield washer fluid tank and lean it forward. Then you can just sort of reach in and change both headlights. A very big pain to change a couple of headlights, but if you want HID's.... for the average person, changing a headlight now means a trip to that garage.

SOURCE: I need to replace my headlight bulb...

you have to look arund and find them. They could be bolts and they could be clips like on a air filter. They could even be some sort of pins.

SOURCE: How do you change the halogen bulb in the

under the hood there will be a large, plastic weather cover to unscew by hand, remove the 3 pin connecting plug, there will be a spring loaded clip holding in the globe, depress the looped end and divert it over to one side thsi will release the globe, assembly is in reverse, be careful as not to touch the end og the globe, as the oil on your fingers are detremental to its operation. No special tools required to do this. Good luck

How to change headlight on 2007 saturn outlook

i found that you can reach it bye on screwing the fourr 8m bots that hold the inner wheel weld. Once you remove the bolts just pull inner plastic fender away and you will be able to unscrew the outer retainer cup then unscrew bulb housing..

2008 Outlook, was just told by dealer that front facia is required to be removed to replace a headlight bulb for a total of 1.5 hrs labor. Is this true? $300 to change a light bulb? Is there another way?

You can remove the inner fender well and gain access to the bulb with a little luck and creativity. Removing the wheel will make this a little easier. Make sure you check the connector as they have issues with them melting.

Replace headlight on 2008 saturn outlook

I was able to replace this bulb via the wheel well. There were 4 small screws holding the liner on. I was then able to bend the liner back + turn the light bulb dust cover and remove it. The bulb assembly also had to be turned to pull it out. I then removed the wireplug. My bulb was intact + the wire connecting to the bulb was the problem. I simply brushed off some of the carbon residue from the wireset overheating. Then reattached it which worked long enough to buy a new wireset. I am very disapointed I had to do this basic repair on my fairly new outlook 500 miles out of a 36k warranty

2008 Saturn Outlook - How do I replace the low beam headlight? If it is not an easy fix, how much should I expect to pay a mechanic to do it?

This has to be done by pulling the bumper off. More then likely there will be a burned up harness (recurring problem with the 2008 Saturn Outlook) the cost from my Saturn dealership is $185.00 to replace the harness and bulb. Very poor engineering when you have to pay $185.00 to change a bulb.

How to change headlight on 2007 saturn outlook

Best method that I found is to just take the 6 phillips screws (4 in the well and 2 below the front bumper cover) out of the forward wheel well panel and reach in behind the panel to the headlight assembly.
