headlight assembly replacement

JUSKIDN · 09-02-2016, 06:05 PM

anyone had to do this yet? is there a DIY on here? I searched and can't find anything. I have one of my halogen headlights that has moisture in the enclosed headlight assembly somehow and want to replace it. I found them on Ebay reasonably priced but unsure how difficult it is to change out. And do they have to be adjusted after the new one is put in? any advise would be really appreciated.

Besides the two screws underneath holding the headlights together. The rest is pretty easy. True plug and play option too if you keep the halogen bulbs.

Just take the top cap off the headlight and park it in the sun, there's no need to replace the whole headlight
