GM 5972698 Headlamp Bulb

If you are replacing both headlights, it will be much easier to do only one at a time because the other headlight assembly will act as your guide. Starting with opening the front compartment lid and retracting the headlight connectors from the rear side of the headlight. Switch on the headlight switch to provide lift to the headlamp assemblies and clamp the front compartment lid shut. Next, there are two Torx screws on the upper left and right points of the black plastic bezel of the front part of the headlight, after which, with the help of raising the front compartment lid again it is possible to unscrew two Torx screws at each side of the bezel and take off the bezel. Twist the headlight switch counter-clock wise and switch off, next with the help of a hooked tool or pliers, pull the retaining spring upwards. Switch on the headlight switch back, close the front compartment lid and pull the headlight assembly from the adjuster screws making sure that you do not discard the retaining spring with it. There are four screws in the chrome headlight retaining ring, unscrew and take out the headlight. It is installed by using the front compartment lid open, the headlight switch in the OFF state and inserting the recess of the retaining spring hook onto the teeth of the actuator In this way the headlight can be switched on by closing the lid and turning the switch ON. Using pliers take the headlight retaining spring and pull down to its seat which is on the inner lower part of the headlight assembly. Ensure that the slots of the headlight ring are fixed on the adjuster screws, open the front compartment lid and then replace black plastic bezel and tighten the two outer Torx screws. Insert the headlight connector, shut the front compartment cover, and replace the remaining two Torx screws at the upper front side of the plastic housing and then check for normal operation.
