Default Headlight Bulb's on 2004 Neon

How do you get to the drivers side headlight to replace the bulb? I was barely able to reach the passengers side, the drivers side is blocked by the airbox and etc. I want to replace both with Silverstars for now. Thanks for the help......

You have to take the headlight out. You'll need to take out the two screws holding it in, and a few of the fascia screws on that side to get it out. You have to pull back the front fascia slightly to get it out. Because the headlight itself has a hunk of plastic attached to it that goes into the frame. Just take a look at it, you'll see what I'm referring to.

that is one of the things that I hate about our cars. They are such a pita. But yeah if you pull the light its easier to get at.

On a 04. all you have to do is take the cover off of the air box, and remove the intake cone, (the one with the temp sensor in it.)

That will give you enough room to weasel your hand in there and get the bulb out.

I never tried that or thought of that. I should be able to change mine now easily, I took my airbox out.

Actually those are not silverstars. How do I know this may you ask? Maybe because thats my car. They are APC hyperwhite bulbs.
