Hi. I'm Mike from 1AAuto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
We'll take a flat blade tool, a screwdriver or a trim tool, and pry right in there. I'm going to pull this lens off.
The bulb is right here. What you're going to do is, you're going to push the bulb in, push it down, and then you're going to twist it. When you twist it, then you can pull it out. You can twist it to the right or twist it to the left.
This bulb is an A12V8W-J bulb. To reinstall the bulb, we're going to slide these two tabs on the side like that. Push it down, then twist it to the right until it lines up with the slot right there. We can test it to make sure it works.
That's good, so now we can reinstall the cover. We're going to slide the cover in this way, and then snap it right in.

Why you Should Replace Not Restore Headlights
See why replacing your cloudy headlights with new ones is always better than refinishing them Why should you replace your headlights and not clean or refinish them? Three reasons: It's a simple fix, it increases visibility, and it enhances the overall look of your vehicle. Headlights are made from a polycarbonate plastic that can be damaged by UV rays from the sun or suffer pitting caused by road debris light salt and rocks. If you look closely at an old set of headlights, you'll see that the lens is full of micro-cracks. This is called crazing. This crazing, along with pinning, will turn your headlights from crystal clear to hazy yellow and it cuts the output in half, making it very difficult to see at night. It also makes your car look old and dated. With parts from 1AAuto.com and our how-to videos, you can make your vehicle look new and stay safe on the road.
