Pontiac Repair: headlights, plastic nut, lamp assembly

Question
how do I change the bulbs on the headlights for 1999 grandprix

Answer
Hi Tina:

It's pretty easy on that car open the hood and there are 2 bolts with a 10 MM head on them remove the 2 bolts and then the whole heal malp capsule assembly can be slid to the side and removed out of the front of the car. there is one hig connector that has to be unplugged to remove the headlamp from the car then there is a big plastic nut that holds the bulb into the head lamp remove the nut then the bulb will come right out. DO NOT TOUCH the new bulb with your bare fingers or you will be replacing that new bulb sooner rather than later. The oil on your skin makes the bulb run hot and burn out. just reverse the procedure to install the lamp assembly. Sorry I can't remember which way it slides out towards the center of the car or towards the fender. Good luck :}
