change headlighs

Hi gang:



What is the best way to change a lightbulb on the passenger side? I could not get access to it. I read the book and it was talking about removing the housing and the heat grille or whatever. I am thinking removing the battery but if there's a easier way, do tell. PLease, feel free to explain to me like I"m an idiot, I won't mind :)



Thanks..



Any NJ mechanics around that want to hook up my exhaust manifold? once I ordered it from the Internet. Ofcourse you will be paid.

First thing you need to tell us is what year and model Jeep you have.

doh!

1995 Jeep GC Laredo.

Give us a hint John, we assume it's some kind of Jeep but if you could narrow it down for us it would help!

CAUTION: Do not touch the bulb glass with fingers

or other oily surfaces. Reduced bulb life will result.

(1) Lift hood to access lamps.

(2) Reach into engine compartment and locate lock

ring supporting the headlamp bulb assembly.

(3) Rotate the lock ring 1/8 turn counterclockwise

(Fig. 4).

(4) Pull the bulb straight out from the housing.

(5) Install new bulb.

Hi all,

This is cool, if it were on the driver side, unobstructed by the freakin battery. I know I have small and softhand (so I've been told) but I can't wiggle my way into it, hehe. I still think I need to take the battery out to get to the bulb.

Sorry, the manual doesn't give separate instructions for the driver and passenger sides. That excerpt is the whole Headlamp Bulb Removal Section of the '95 ZJ Factory Service Manual.

My guess is 25... One to hold the bulb, and 24 to rotate the Jeep!

It only takes one, but the light bulb really has to want to change.

  1. 1 to change the bulb, and 11 to fill out the environmental impact report.

And, my personal favorite, How many teamsters does it take to change a light bulb?

One, he holds the bulb and the universe revolves around it.

Yup, got to pull the battery,

Thank you!

Is it hard? which should I pull first? Positive or Negative? don't want to fry anything, cause I need the car to make a trip but I need to change that bulb, nothing says "Pull me over" to a bored cop more than a busted headlight.
