Motivation

So my headlamp ballast went out and I live about 90 miles from the nearest dealership so I'm going to try and do it my self.

Has anyone done this that could give me some pointers, pictures or shortcuts? Maybe even a part number?

I've been told that the bumper has to come off and I haven't the slighest clue about this procedure.


Any help would be tremendous guys !!!!

THANKS

You run a risk of spider webbing the paint around the headlights if you pull the bumper cover too far forward by trying to remove the headlights without removing the bumper, but "I" was able to remove the old headlights and install the new Xenon headlamps I bought without removing the bumper. I had to loosen it on both sides and allow it a little wiggle room, but not remove it.

I thought at one point in time I was surely to leave webbing it was flexed so much, but I got away with it.

good info thanks !
i'm not looking to change the headlights though, ONLY replace the ballast.
no one has ever done this on their own?

you're still gonna have to pull the headlight to remove the ballast, it's locked onto the bottom of the unit.

thanks again, that is something that I wasn't aware of. do you have any idea what it looks like or a model number?
