Pontiac Repair: 2004 grand am gt headlight bulb replacment, metal spring, headlamp assembly

Question
how do you get the bulb out without moving the adjustments

Answer
Hey Robert:

you have to take off that big plastic panel that goes from the bumper cover to the rataitor support and then ther are 2 metal spring clips use a small screwdriver to pry the clip towards the engine and at the same time pull up on the clips with a pair of pliers that will relaease the headlamp assembly. when you put ti back in pay close attention to the adjusters on the back of the lamp they go into pockets in the header panel that is the piece the clips are in. if you do not get them in right the clips will not go down all the way or the head lamp wil be way out of adjustment because the clips didn't grab the adjuster right. Good luck :}

Oh P.S. be vary carful with the retainer for the bulb they break VERY easy the plastic gets brittel for the heat on the bulbs you may wnat to get one of them as well as a bulb.
