• Grasp the housing of the bulb and pull it out. This step may require a little wiggling to get it loose. Do not pull the bulb by the glass or tug the bulb roughly. This could cause it to break and may result in injury.
• Holding the old bulb and new bulbs by their housings, compare to make sure they match.
• To guarantee your bulb is free of dust and fingerprints, gently wipe it with a pre-moistened alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol on a dust-free cloth.
• Line up the bulb housing with the open socket and insert carefully. Make sure it’s secure.
• Slide the bulb back in place and twist if necessary to make sure it’s locked into its spot.
• Replace the clip (if you have one), dust cover, and power connector.
• Turn on your headlights to ensure the bulb and connection are working.
• Close the hood and give yourself a round of applause!
