Replacing a headlight bulb looks intimidating, but with a clear sequence it needs few tools and little time. Whether it's a burnt-out low beam or a stubborn high beam, the flow is the same: open the hood, remove the old bulb, fit the new one, reinstall. The steps below assume a typical passenger-car assembly, but the principles apply to most models. Keep a small flashlight handy and work slowly to avoid damaging the housing or bulb.

Opening the Hood Safely
Removing the Low-Beam Bulb
Removing the High-Beam Bulb
The high beam is handled a little differently from the low beam. Release the metal pin before pulling the bulb out, and on reinstallation align the pointer with the D-shaped notch on the headlight. Adjust until the pins are straight and the pointer sits correctly, then insert fully.
Reassembling and Closing the Hood
Follow these steps and you'll have both low- and high-beam bulbs replaced and clear night visibility restored. As a final check, make sure you never touched the glass and that every cover is tight.
