How to take out my headlight to change the bulb?

[Desmondband]

I understand this is a very 'noob' question.. but still have to ask :P keen to learn anyway..

 

i wanted to change my headlight blub (hyundai matrix) but it seems like the battery and some other parts in the hood is blocking the opening.. my hands are not so small to change it..

 

do i need to take out the entire headlight to change the bulb??

 

thanks in advance :)

havent driven or know the insides of a matrix but bulb replacement doesn't need to take out the whole headlight assy...just pull out the rubber seal and usually clips and disconnet the adaptora..

 

access should be from the back of the headlight if not from under the mud guards..

 

but matrix owners are the best to help..Im just generalizing...

Pop the hood and check at the rear of your headlights. You should be able to dislodge them from there and make the change.

is just the clip that hold the bulb difficult to reach it.. perhaps tml i will take a picture and post it online :)

Most of the harness for bulbs are slide and lock type, or rather turn quarter and pull out. Shift the battery sideway to get more space or if u know how to use the string technic. Cross coil one round over the round clip, and pull at one end anti clock wise den pull to release the catch.
