He told you, Jim... The front passenger low beam headlight. :-)

That makes it simple--

Remove the wiring connector from the rear of the old headlight bulb. Remove the ring that holds the old bulb in. Remove the old bulb. Being extremely careful not to touch the glass part of the new bulb, install the new one in the same orientation as the one that came out. Rotate it until it seats completely in the keys in the housing as you push it firmly into the housing. Replace the ring, tightening it firmly. Replace the electrical connector.

Two things to consider:

Your Owners Manual has a listing of the bulb numbers, including the headlight bulb. It also includes an illustration that shows how to change the bulb. On the front of that manual is a picture of a car, and also a description of the car that includes the make, model, and year. Sharing that info, at least the year, will get you a bit more support from the group. Bill, after years of doing this, has developed a Bad Attitude about that stuff for some reason. ;-)

(hi Bill!)

HTH!

The disturbing thing is that he hasn't been back to check for replies... not apparently, anyway. Are we all contributing our time and experience for naught???

At least the NG can get into some lively discussion o occasion....
