How to change the head lights on a Miata 2000?

[olaf2407]

I know it's embarrissing, but I lost my manual and I don't want to break something by doing the wrong thing. So how do you change the head lights on a Miata 2000? (It has only one bulb for low and high beam, not 2 like the 2001.
Thanks, Olaf

I don't have a 2000 model, but for most cars in general, you grab the base of the light, twist counter clockwise about 1/4 a turn, then pull straight away. the bulb separates from the wiring harness via an obvious little lever. reverse the process for installation.
