Re: burnt out headlight

Lol yea it's pretty simple...buy a new bulb and replace it by removing the rubber grommet then unclip the light bulb....after you unclip it you remove the factory plug (assuming you have halogen bulbs)....then put in new bulb.

Re: burnt out headlight

buy new bulbs. remove old ones. put in new ones. always replace them in pairs. if one went out, the other one is likely about to go out to. do them both and be done.

Re: burnt out headlight

And whatever you do don't touch the new bulb or your hand oils will cause it to explode (after like a month of use)!! Or so I've heard. I didn't touch mine so I don't really know.

And if you do use it, wipe it down with a new super microfiber towel and alcohol.
