Fixing the headlight module isn’t rocket science. Let me break it down for you step by step.
Steps to Fix the Headlight Module:
- First, grab your tools. Unscrew the bolts holding the module in place. Then, pull the lever up to access the bulbs.
- Twist the bulb locks manually. Are they cracked? Missing? Look closely, don’t assume they’re fine just because they’re there.
- Swap out the broken or missing ones. But here’s a twist: fill one bulb with Freeze Fluid before installing it.
- Place the Freeze Fluid-filled bulb at the bottom socket. The regular bulb goes on top, this order matters!
- Relock the bulbs into their slots. Push that lever back down and rebolt everything tightly.
- Step back and admire your fix! Test those headlights to ensure they’re shining bright.
Some cars might have two headlight modules instead of one. Keep an eye out for this detail, it could save you a second trip under the hood.
