Headlight bulb replacement

[94landcruiser]

I have tried, I have searched, I have looked all over the net and cannot figure out how to get at the back of the headlights to put in my new bulbs.

I know this will irritate oldtimers and I am sorry I tried to do it on my own.

I have a 96 and all I did was just turn the harness holding the bulb counter clockwise and it comes out.

Yep, just did this and as jditom states, just give the black plastic harness holding the bulb a little twist and pull straight out.

Thanks! Got the lows, highs refuse to budge. Guess I will have to keep trying.

Put a little bit of umph into it, if it breaks it isn't hard to replace...

Loosen the tiny screws on the black circular holding plate. Thats what I had to do for a couple of the bulbs.
Cheers,

You can do this, if I can do this under the raleys parking lot light, you can. I now carry spares since we put in the pella lights. Amazing how the Napa lights don't burn out but the pella's do. Any how, it's not hard just don't get impatient. The passenger side is more tricky because of the radiator overflow.

Where is grass Valley? I'll drive up to Ralleys & you can show me lol

Actually the pass side was easier I just pulled the overflow up & had much more room, the ac stuff is in the way on the drivers side.

The point is, is that under a street light at night, it is not difficult to do even for a woman. However, If you want to climb under my hood, I am always interviewing LOL but its for ancillary staff....LOL
