2001 Grand Am Headlight

Hi Im new at all this. I have never changed a headlight and really didnt think it would be hard. Could someone help explain to me what Im to do. I've read over a bunch of posts and tried a few things but ot no avail.

Sorry , I thought thier were some posts with pics but I didnt see any. I'll get a pic if I can for referance.

Right above the headlights with the hood up you will see some round things that look like nails with a big washer under it. Those are called push pins. The center part lifts up, then they'll lift out of the hole(s).

Only need to remove the three above the light area. Then the large plastic part it was holding down will lift up, the outter edge has that lip that goes under the fender, it should just pull over and out.

Two upside down "L" shaped things hold the light on.
The lift up, might need a screw driver, one comes all the way out, and the other only lifts up.

Unplug the wire connectors, turn signal, headlight. Then turn the black ring holding in the bulb. Be easy with the rings they are prone to brake and are pricey :grinyes: around $10-12 , and I think they are still a dealer part.

Still looking for a pic :(

Found a couple that might help :D

Hope that helps.

Great sticky xero. Wish there was someone this helpful when I had to change my bulb. No one warned me on the black ring. Of course I broke it when even being careful. Bam...$12.00 later I had that stupid little black ring.

Good thread for those needing to change their bulbs.

Thanks again xero!!!

No prob Boug!
