98 TJ Headlight Replacement

Jan 27, 2004 3 Replies

The low beams on one of my headlights on my 98 TJ has burnt out and I now need to replace it. The question is - can I find this headlight at a normal parts store (i.e. Canadian Tire) or do I need to get it from the dealer? Also, how the heck do I get it out? With cold temperatures outside I don't want to have to spend a lot of time fiddling, and I always worry about snapping off a fastener.



Thanks.

It's a standard 7" headlight, any normal auto parts store carries replacements.

Is that a sealed beam unit ? We get Hella H4s with separate bulbs here, and they work well. May be worth considering as a replacement if they are legal.

Yep - it's the sealed beam unit. I'm still not sure how to remove it to replace it though. If it ever gets warm again I'll have to spend some time staring at it.
