How do you replace the headlight bulb located on a 1997 Chevy Malibu?

In: Chevy Malibu [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

The bulbs screw in from the rear. If you can't get to the back, take the light assy off of the car.
when you open the hood of the car there are two square plastic tabs on either side of the light, pull up on those (they only move 1/4 to 1/2 inch) and the headlight assembly will come out giving you access to the bulbs.
