go to your parts suppler and ask for a H4 globe pop your bonnet and remove the plug on the back of your head light then remove the rubber boot paying attention to which way it cam off then you will find a spring clip unclip it but be careful not to damage its anchor point. remove old globe an throw away take new globe out of box DO NOT TOTCH THE GLASS OF THE GLOB AS IT WILL CAUSE THE GLOBE TO BLOW STAAIGHT AWAY AFTER FITTING IT handle the globe by the metle bass and fit it, refit spring clip and rubber boot fit the plugf and check the operation of the light

You shouldnt have to pull the whole lens assembly.On the back of the lens assembly(inside engine compartment)you should find what looks like a big round nut where the wires go in.unscrew that nut and your headlight should come out and you can insert the new one.Its a halogen bulb.

Probably from the engine compartment. Raise the hood and look at the rear of the light to see how it comes apart.

Aiming

1. Park the vehicle on level ground, so it is perpendicular to and, facing a flat wall about 25 ft. (7.6m) away.
2. Remove any stone shields, if equipped, and switch ON the lights.
3. Loosen the mounting hardware of the lights so you can aim them as follows:

1. The horizontal distance between the light beams on the wall should be the same as between the lights themselves.
2. The vertical height of the light beams above the ground should be 4 in. (10cm) less than the distance between the ground and the center of the lamp lenses for fog lights. For driving lights, the vertical height should be even with the distance between the ground and the center of the lamp.

1. Tighten the mounting hardware.
2. Test to make sure the lights work correctly, and the light pattern is even.
