Re: headlight (sneekerbuddy)
Have you changed the bulb? If not, that's the first thing to try. If you have your owner's manual, then the instructions are in there. If not here's the quick version:
Take the plastic cover off behind the headlight... they are held in place with some plastic retainers with philips head plastic screws in the middle. Half of them will probably break as you take them out. Then you'll have access to the area behind the headlamp assembly. Unplug the connector, making sure to catch the little rubber gasket if it tries to fall out. Then turn the bulb and pull it out. Put the new one in without touching the blub - the oil on your hands can cause it to burn out early or even explode if you touch it.
Good luck!
