"How To Change The Headlights on 1999 Chevrolet Venture"

1999 White Chevrolet Venture

Can anyone tells me how do I change the headlights in my 1999 Chevy Venture?

Answer:
1.Open the hood.
2.Remove the thumb screw attaching the parking/turn signal lamp assembly to the headlamp assembly. Pull the parking/turn signal lamp assembly away from the vehicle.
3.Remove the two wing nuts located on top of the headlamp assembly.
4.Unscrew the black retainer ring that holds the bulb assembly in place.
5.Pull the bulb assembly straight up from the lamp housing.
6.Unhook the electrical connector by lifting up the blue tabs and pulling the bulb out.
7.Replace the new bulb through the black retainer ring and into the electrical connector. Push the bulb firmly enough so that the blue tabs hook over the tab on the bulb.
8.Carefully put the bulb assembly back into the lamp housing and tighten the black retainer ring in place. Be careful not to damage the bulb on the headlamp aiming bar.
9.Align the pins on the bottom of the headlamp assembly with the holes in the lamp support bracket while placing the holes in the assembly over the bolts where the wing nuts attach.
10.Replace and tighten the wing nuts.
11.Replace the parking/turn signal lamp assembly by lining up the tabs at the back of the assembly with the holes in the fender.
12.Tighten the bolt connecting the parking/turn signal lamp assembly. Be sure the tab from the parking/turn signal lamp assembly is inboard of the tab from the headlamp assembly.
Don’t touch the glass part of the bulb with your bare hands, as the oil from your fingers can make the bulb shatter, because Halogens get very hot. Clean cotton gloves are usually recommended, or more practical for most people is some facial tissues.
