Replacing headlight bulbs, and air dam questions...

Recommended Posts

I recently let my rommate take the g60 out for a spin, and he pulled too far into a praking space and tore part of the plastic/rubber air dam off of the front bumper. I havent taken a look at it yet, but i was wondering if any of you have ever done this, and could tell me how to get it back on, or whether i will need to purchase a new one for it... one side is still about a foot and a half attached to the bumper.

 

My next question is for the headlights. Either I am retarded and can't figure it out, or I am retarded and can't figure it out... Does anyone have a pic of the part I need to remove to access the bulb for the headlight as to replace it. Cheers.

Take the headlight unit out - far easier.

 

3 screws - two are clearly visible and the other is located through a hole in the slam panel.

Got the dam back on, and took it up to 100 on the highway, and it stayed on, so Im happy for tonight...

 

This is going to sound stupid, but I did that (Took headlight out) and couldnt tell if there was something that would unscrew, as with most cars i've seen... Last time I put headlights on his car... :oops: I took his headlight housing off on his 92 Isuzu Trooper, switched it out, and the housing fell apart. I dont mean one tiny part cracked, IT FELL THE **** APART!!! Heh, I was pretty stressed out, and it took me about an hour to figure out what the hell to do about it. I finally went and bought three packs of 5 minute epoxy and epoxied the **** out of it. It went back on and stayed on until I sold his car for him a week ago, which was about 3 months. I didnt want to do a half-azzed job on it, but there was either $6 in epoxy, or $150 for a new headlight housing... Is there something that unscrews, or am I just being retarded and not seeing it...

US lights are different from European, so there may be a difference we don't know about, but on ours there's an obvious disc you rotate and pop off to get to the bulbs.

Yeah there's a sort of cap that twists off as Andi says. Then there is the electrical connector and a metal retaining clip that holds the bulb in place.
