2003 Sunfire Headlight
Tuesday, March 04, 2008 4:02 AM
Good Morning all. I need to replace my bulbs (notice I said need, not want) and am having some trouble figuring out how to get to the them. On my 93 Altima it was just remove rubber boot, unplug and replace? I am guessing this one is not going to be as easy, in addition am planning on swapping out factory radio and speakers this weekend, any and all tips/tricks and whatever else you want to throw my way is always greatly appreciated.

Thanks all!

use a screwdriver to pop up the plastic retainers holding hte filler panel down that is over the radiator

remove panel

use a 13 or 15mm wrench (can't remember off hand) to remove the headlight housing

replace bulb

reverse for reinstall

I believe it's a 13mm wrench/socket.

Yep. Very easy.

Nothing personal, but seriously, if you couldn't figure out the headlights on your car, are you sure you want to start trying to do a stereo install? If you do, I hope you have a good how-to video or manual.

I never said that I didn't know how. Just wanted to make sure I didn't remove the entire headlight if there was an easy way to just unplug and slip out like in my altima (RIP). But I appreciate your concern, again, if I stated I didn't know how, its just a play on words, just didn't want to waste time if there was a quick and easy way I wasn't seeing, thats all man.

Gotcha.

Sorry, no quick way. Gotta remove the damn housing. Thanks GM.
