replacing high beam blub

AznSupastar · 07-25-2007, 12:14 PM

i understand the manual has simple instruction but i'm curious if anyone who has replaced the high beam blub on the driver side (with battery and coolant in the way) can give me tips/steps on the procedure or photos that can help. thx

For the drivers side, I just take out the coolant bottle and let it rest on the battery while taking off bulb/replacing bulb. Don't be afraid to pull it out, just let the rubber tube still connected. When your all done, unscrew the battery tie down and push the battery upwards about 2 inches. Then aim and push back the coolant bottle back into place.

hope this helps

no need to remove anything. just reach in and replace the bulbs. they are easily accessable...

You must have itty bitty hands, then, because the driver's side high beam seemed next to impossible to get to without removing the coolant resevoir.

The tubing on the coolant tank needs to be pulled out of its "latches" that are for security (see your owners manual) and you'll have a lot more length if you do that. Then take the tank off and put it on your battery, replace the bulb, and have fun trying to get the coolant thing back into place.

It took me like 45 minutes. It's just hard to get it in the holder.

i guess i just dont remember correctly...i thought that only needed to be removed to get to the low beam bulb...

i pull the coolant bottle up and take the battery strap off and then i can lay the battery back and fit my meat hook in there to change the bulb

No worries, I forget sometimes, too.

Both lowbeam bulbs can be changed by removing a screw in the front wheel well, and peeling back the black plastic shroud, and sticking your hand up behind it.

The pass. high beam is the easiest because you don't have to remove anything.

Cant you do the highbeams the same as the lows....you would just have to reach up a bit farther
