How do I replace the headlight, the low beam one, does it come out? I know first there is a seal which twists off, but what about after?

Its much easier to take the headlight housing out unless you have tiny hands and can somehow fit through all the other crap in the front.

There is a small screw that holes the corner lights. Once you take the corner lights out you will see two nuts. There are two bolts on the right side of the headlights as well. For easier access remove the grille. The grille just pops off after you remove two clips holding it. Now once the grille is off just take off all the bolts and nuts (4) and it comes right out.

Oh BTW,

Once you take the headlights out..1. There is a plastic ring that screws off2. Rubber boot that can be pulled out.3. bulb is held in position by a clip that you can squeeze and pull out.

all you have to do is move the top part of the metal clip to one side and it will drop. its rounded off i think you just move it to the left and then out. it should just swing down put the new bulb in and your done. you dont have to take out the whole light.
