GM 19257054 Bulb Asm,Headlamp (Low Beam)

Raise the hood, take off the radiator shield, unscrew the bolts to pull the headlight unit, and use that space to replace your headlight bulbs. Unplug the electrical cable from each light fixture, then take off their protectors to get to the bulbs. Squeeze the bulb holder(s) by turning them counterclockwise, carefully slip the new holder and bulb into the headlight, then tighten them back clockwise to attach. Replace the headlight housing with the cover.

To disconnect the negative cable from the battery, start by removing the radiator grille for sealed beam-type headlights. Then, carefully remove the retainer screws without disturbing the adjusting screws. Pull the headlight out enough to unplug the connector and remove the headlight. To install the headlight, plug the connector in, position the headlight, and secure it with the retainer and screws. For composite headlights, open the hood and remove the two headlight retainers to drop the assembly forward and down. Reach behind the assembly to turn the bulb holder counterclockwise and unplug it. To install, plug the new bulb assembly into the electrical connector, insert it into the receptacle, and rotate clockwise to lock it into place.

To remove the bulb, first of all unpack the rear tail lamp housing, unscrew it and make it tilted downwards to get better access to the bulb connection point. Turn off the electrical connectors and take out the bulb-timely retrofit involves the opposite procedure. For the rear side marker light bulb, those of 2004 and earlier require dismantling the whole of the tail lamp housing, crawling the hand through the rear lens cavity to find the bulb socket and twist anti--clockwise and replace it with the new one, while 2005 and models require locating the rear compartment carpet side trim, and by applying some force on a tab provided, the rear side marker assembly should pop-off and twisting to remove The front turn/park lamp and side marker bulb of the Ford Escape model 3 can be accessed by doing the following: raise and support the front part of the car, remove the lower close out panel of the fascia, and the brake caliper /rotor cooling ducts need to be moved slightly if necessary to expose the bulb socket. Where the front side marker bulb requires replacement, one simply hold the bulb housing as they twist it in an anti-clockwise direction until tabs are engaged in placing it back. For the front turn signal and parking lamp, one just needs to twist it like a bulb to remove the housing. In order to change the fog lamp bulb, lift the car, unscrew the lower fascia close-out panel, and to reach the bulb socket, shift the brake caliper/rotor duct. The high mount center stop lamp is an LED assembly; you will have to take one of the inner tail lamp housings, to take off one of the electrical connectors, and to unscrew the assembly from the fascia. When replacing the high mount center stop lamp with a spoiler one must take off the trim panel, then disconnect the electrical connector, remove the screws that fix the light fixture to the spoiler. For license plate and back up lamp bulbs the process is a little different for the models prior to 2004 and those manufactured after 2004, in the older models the inner tail lamp housing needs to be pulled out to get at the bulbs and in the newer models screws have to be unscrewed from the license plate lens fixture. Another way for the backup lamp replacement is to detach the license plate and take the frame off. The interior bulb circuit has a number of courtesy lamps that made involve special procedures, and some of those are the instrument panel courtesy lamp removal, rear view mirror courtesy bulb, vanity mirror bulb, glove box courtesy lamp, under hood courtesy lamp, and rear section courtesy lamp, all of which require the same procedure as in prying off covers or reaching in to pull out the bulbs, as in installation is the reverse of the removal.

To disconnect the negative cable from the battery, start by removing the radiator grille for sealed beam-type headlights. Then, carefully remove the retainer screws without disturbing the adjusting screws. Pull the headlight out enough to unplug the connector and remove the headlight. To install the headlight, plug the connector in, position the headlight, and secure it with the retainer and screws. For composite headlights, open the hood and remove the two headlight retainers to drop the assembly forward and down. Reach behind the assembly to turn the bulb holder counterclockwise and unplug it. To install, plug the new bulb assembly into the electrical connector, insert it into the receptacle, and rotate clockwise to lock it into place.

Remove the headlight housing and the access cover from the headlight housing. Twist the bulb holder counterclockwise and withdraw the bulb holder and connector from the housing. Unplug the electrical connector from the bulb holder. Handling the new bulb only by the bulb holder portion, reconnect the electrical connector, and insert the new bulb/holder into the housing. Twist the holder clockwise to lock it in place, then install the cover. Installation is the reverse of the removal.

Open the hood and reach behind the headlight assembly to unplug the electrical connector; if removing the left-side headlight, also remove the fresh-air intake duct. Release the spring clip to take out the bulb holder, then pull straight out on the bulb to remove it from the holder. Avoid touching the glass with bare fingers and use a clean lint-free cloth to hold the bulb during installation, inserting the bulb assembly into the headlight housing. Installation follows the reverse order of removal.

When turning the front turn signal bulbs, the hood should be opened and the amber lens front turn signal should be looked for; it is the outer bulb socket. Pull out the socket by unscrewing it anti-clockwise, and pull the bulb in a manner perpendicular with respect to the direction of the socket. For the front sidemarker bulbs, there is a socket within an amber lens housing that is located at the front corners of the vehicle; if further access is required, the housing can be pulled forward at the frontmost edge. Twist the socket in the anticlockwise direction a quarter turn and pull it out and pull the bulb in the same way. Fog light bulbs, if available, are at the lower edges of the front bumper housing and can be removed from below; lift the car safely, twist the base anti-clockwise, holding it down and pull to remove. Pull out the electrical connector from the bulb and for the bulb simply twist and pull it off the socket. To replace the center-mount brake light bulbs, being by finding the assembly inside of the vehicle, retract the trim lid, and then twist the bulb socket counter clockwise to remove it. The bulb is actually permanently attached to the base so that both should be replaced together. Regarding brake, tail, turn and back up light bulbs, open the trunk or the lift gate, unscrew the trim panel then turn the socket anti-clockwise. Switch off the item and wait for some time until it is cool enough the output shaft then rotate it 1/8 clockwise so as to pull out the bulb, when replacing the bulb make sure that the locator pins are lined up. License plate light bulbs can be replaced by removing the screws which is holding the lens of the license plate then pulling down the assembly to reveal the bulb. In the case of dome light assemblies pry off the lens, pull the bulb by the contacts, and reassemble in reverse.

In an effort to remove the left headlight bulb, one has to first remove the fan control module. Subsequently, if there is a locking tab, you will need to pull down on the tab in order to unplug the electrical connector from the headlight assembly. To replace the bulb simply turn it one-fourth of a turn counterclockwise and pull it out of the assembly. When placing the bulb make sure that the three tabs of the headlight mounting flange fit into the three groves on the mounting base and then clockwise turn the bulb. In terms of installation the process is the reverse of removal.
