Default Headlight Question

My passenger side light is out. The high beam works but the regular one does not. The problem is isolated to the right side headlight. What parts do i need to buy to make my car night time operational? Thanks in advance.

You'll need a new lamp because you cannot replace just the bulb in our cars. Foolish system, but that is how it is. :(

Anyways....

If you go to this link of mine, it will show you what you need to take off to replace the light. I made this from when I upgraded my headlights, but it will still show you what to do. :)

Instead of purchasing a replacement light. Now is a good time to consider upgrading your lighting. I'm presently considering replacements to Hella. Go to http://www.susquehanna.com/susp. Good Luck!

Go with Hella or Cibie Headlamps with the replaceable/upgradable bulbs. :yesnod: Hella's are easier to find but, the Cibie are well worth searching for...unbelievable difference! :D :yesnod:
