Chrysler Repair: Chrysler Concord parking light replacement, chrysler concord, halogen bulbs


Question
"I need to replace the right front parking / fog light (not just bulb) on my 1999 Chrysler Concord LXI.  The battery box is in the way and it seems very difficult to get to.  Thanks for any advice."

Answer
Hi Steve,
Apparently to replace the fixture the best way to get at it is to remove the headlamp housing. Once that is done you rotate and pull the socket from the housing, then remove the two fasteners that attach it to the fascia. Here are the instructions for the headlamp housing r&r:
REMOVAL
Release hood latch and open hood.
Remove large rubber grommet (70 mm x 168 mm) from splash shield to gain access to fascia  fasteners, Access Rubber Grommet. The grommet is in the front part of the wheel well.
Remove fasteners attaching fascia to the front fender and splash shield, using access hole in splash shield Fastener Locations
Remove the push pins attaching the fascia to the upper radiator closure panel Remove Push In Fasteners
Remove jackscrews attaching headlamp housing to crossmember and remove the lamp housing to access the lamp(s) Headlamp Jackscrews
Roll fascia forward to clear way for headlamp housing removal Roll Fascia Forward
Disconnect wire connector from back of lamp socket(s) and/or bulbs.
Remove headlamp housing
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced bulb life will result.

Place headlamp housing into position.
Connect wire connector to lamp socket(s) and/or bulbs.
Verify headlamp and signal lamp operation.
Install jackscrews to attach headlamp housing to crossmember.
Align fascia to bumper reinforcement and install the top center push pins, to upper radiator closure panel.
Align the two fascia studs to the fender vertical attachments, at the same time align the fascia groove on the horizontal flange with the fender drive pin. Push fascia rearward to engage the fasteners.
