Please be sure to refer to the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. This guide is only provided to give you an idea of what is required to install headlights onto your car.

Depending on your car, you may need to remove the front bumper to give you enough space to remove and install your new headlights.

Take a look at your headlight and you'll see a thin metal band that is around the outside of the headlamp. Normally this is what holds it in place. You will now need to remove the screws (normally 2 or 4) that hold the metal band down. The screws are small and short so you may want to use a magnetic screwdriver to make the job easier. Make sure that you do not confuse these screws for the horizontal and vertical headlamp adjustment screws which are larger and longer. Once removed, set the screws aside so you won't lose them.

Now gently wiggle the headlight assembly and remove the metal back. Your headlight should hang loosely. Pull back the rubber covering and unplug the headlight from the back.

Put the new headlamp in place and plug it in and put the rubber cover back over the connection. Be careful not to disturb the settings of the adjusting screws. Put the thin metal band back on and screw it back in using the screws you removed earlier until the headlight is secure.

Turn on your headlights to test the new light. If it doesn't come on, you might have a problem with the wiring, not the light.
