Headlights are an important component of every vehicle on the road. The repair and replacement procedure for the headlight assembly and headlight bulb is fairly straightforward and should take only 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Certain models of Saturn S Series vehicles have separate light bulbs for high and low beams while others have a dual light. Consult your auto parts representative to obtain the proper replacement parts for your vehicle.
Purchase the replacement light you need from an auto parts store. Give them the year and particular Saturn S Series model number to acquire the right part. Also indicate whether you need the high or low beam light bulb, as some S Series models require separate bulbs.
Turn off the engine. Pop the hood and secure it open. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery by grasping the cable and pulling it straight off of the positive and negative battery terminals.
Position yourself in front of the headlight you wish to repair. Look behind the headlight assembly to find the wiring harness for the headlight assembly. Lift the locking tab, grab the wiring harness and pull the wiring directly away from the assembly.
Grab the old headlight bulb, twist it counterclockwise and pull it out of the headlight assembly. Replace it with a new bulb and secure it by turning it clockwise.
Reconnect the wiring harness to the headlight assembly and reconnect the battery cables. Test the lights to see if they work properly.
Follow steps 1 and 2.
Find the screws or bolts that hold your headlight assembly in place. There should be at least two screws or bolts on the top and on the bottom. The type of securing device and number depends on the year your Saturn was made.
Remove the bolts or screws and put them aside.
Gently remove the headlight assembly and put it aside. Put the new assembly into position and secure it with the bolts or screws.
Follow step 4 from above.
