Hi I'm Mike Green I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this, to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts, installed correctly, that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video we're going to show you headlight removal and replacement, both the whole assembly and bulbs. This is a 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo this is the same for any 2000 to 2005 Monte Carlo. Just a flat blade screwdriver is all you might need for this.
Changing the headlights on one of these 2000 to 2005 Monte Carlos is quite easy. If you are just looking to change the bulb you can access them right back in here. You would pull this rubber shield off and the bulb is right inside. Actually, it's a little tough to get to the high beam here. What you really want to do is pull the whole assembly out, which is not that difficult. There is two tabs, one here and one actually right there. All you have to do is pull the tab up, and on this inside one you might want to use a little screwdriver and just pry it up nice and easy so it moves. Reach your hand in there and pull it out. Then the headlight just pulls straight forward. Behind, there is a connector right here, so use your thumb to pry up, pull it out and your whole assembly is now out of the car.
Once you have the assembly out of the car, obviously if your headlight has been wiped out by a rock or something you can replace it. The bulbs, like I said, are right in here. You just pull them out, twist, and you can take and remove the bulbs. Just little tabs here that pull off and then the bulb comes out. That will be the same thing for the other one and some of the other signal lights and stuff like that. Just twist, there's a thumb lock here, twist and comes out. This little one twists and comes out.
This here is our old light, here is the new light from 1A Auto. You can see if you get a headlight wiped out, or actually as these cars get more and more miles, stone chips and sand and things like that can dull and cloud the finish. A new light, you can see even this car has got relatively low miles, but even the new one is just a little bit brighter and clearer than the old one. The new 1A Auto light is going to install just like the original. You can see all of the mounting points are the same and everything. The plug is going to plug in and bolt up just like the original.
Reinstallation is pretty obvious plug your connector back in, slide the light straight in. You have some square holes back here just make sure that these pins go into those square holes on both the inside here and the outside. Push it back in there nice and tight, take your other and push it down. This little area goes around that square clip, push in, push down. The inner one, pull up on your shroud here a little bit. Make sure it's straight up and straight down, push down in it and just give a little tug that everything's in there nice and tight, that's it.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to service the bulbs, as well as replace the entire headlight assembly on this 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo. We show you on the passenger side, but the driver's side is the same procedure. It's the same part and similar process on these Monte Carlos from 2000 to 2005. The only items you'll need for this include new headlights from 1AAuto.com, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Start off by prying out this clip. You just pry out the center then you can pull the clip free. Now lift up on this clip, lift up the panel, and pull this clip up as well. Now you can pull the headlight straight out. Lift up the tab on this harness and disconnect it, and your light is free.
To service the bulbs, you just twist out the socket, pull your old bulb out, push your new one in, and twist the socket back in clockwise. With this one, you need to push a tab that's on the top of the light, so just push in the tab, turn it counterclockwise, pull it free, the bulb pulls out, and you can push your new one into place. Then twist it back in clockwise.
For this one, you just want to pry off the boot, twist the socket counterclockwise, and pull it free. Then for the harness, you just want to pry out on the tabs and disconnect it. Reconnect the harness to your new bulb, twist the socket back in clockwise, and replace your boot. This bulb right here is the same procedure.
On the bottom is the old headlight; above it is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Take your new headlight and reconnect the harness. Then push the headlight back into place. Once you have it lined up and in place, take those clips and slide them back in. They just clip on and slide down. Then put the panel back down and replace that clip with the center out, and then push the center in to lock it. Now you want to park in front of a wall, and then just make sure your headlights are aimed properly. To aim them, you just use a Phillips screwdriver at the top, turn it clockwise to lower the light, and turn it counterclockwise to raise the light. Just to show you the difference new headlights can make, these are the old headlights and here are the new headlights from 1A Auto.
