No. Remove the socket cover. Then remove the bulb. You have to remove the bumper to replace the entire headlight assembly, but not for just the bulb

SOURCE: 2003 MITSUBISHI GALANT HOW TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT BULB

First you disconnect the 3 prong electric plug. To disconnect squeeze the side tabs together (hard) and pull away from the bulb, then you can pull off the protective rubber covering, (its a little snug so give it a tug from the 2 tabs on the top and bottom).

Next unscrew the little Phillips head screw to loosen the bracket that clips in the bulb (take note of how the clip is installed before you remove it, it holds the bulb securely in place).
Just loosen the screw as you do not need to remove it all the way. Pull out the old bulb and replace it with the new one.

The bulb has 3 spacing tabs on it so it can only go in one way. Make note of this when you remove it so you may replace it the same way. follow the steps in reverse and your done.
Note: The little wire clip that holds the bulb in can be a pain. Make sure you get a really good look at it, since it pops out as soon as you loosen the screw. If you get lost, you can always look at the other headlight. Oh, and don't do this in the dark.

Shocks are simple to remove and reinstall. One bolt on top and one on the bottom. You can easily do this at your home garage. However struts are a different matter. I suggest you have them replace by a professional.

How to replace a rear motor mount on a 2003 outlander Mitsubishi

There is no printed detailed instructions that I am aware of. A car repair manual from your auto parts store may give some insight. Usually, most techs will size up the repair visually and remove necessary components to access the mount. The engine may have to be raised slightly for removal of the mount. Experience in auto repair is the biggest asset in this type of repair

How do I replace the headlight assembly MN133516

The 2003 Outlander utilizes replaceable (9007) headlight bulbs. If you're looking to replace the bulb(s);
1. Raise the hood.
2. Remove the plastic cover at the rear of the headlamp assembly by rotating it counterclockwise, and pulling it off. This will allow access to the headlight bulb.
3. Twist the bulb socket counterclockwise in order to remove it from the headlamp assembly. Pull the old bulb out of the socket, and use a clean cloth to install the replacement bulb. Do not touch the glass of the new bulb.
4. Place the socket back into the assembly, and twist it clockwise. Reattach the plastic cover, and close the hood.
Are you needing DIY instructions for replacing the entire headlamp assembly? Left (driver) or Right (passenger)?

    Where is the water pump located on a mitsubishi 2.4L engine? I have a 2003 mitsubishi outlander

    While I understand this answer may be overkill, follow this link to an article about the engine cooling system. Look midway down the article for this sentence "More information about 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander Engine Cooling System service and troubleshooting, find here – 32 pages of PDF filetype" Click on the "find here" link which will prompt you to download a file 14_rar. Open it with any decompressing software (Winzip, WinRar) to find 14.pdf. Go to page 14-23 to see a diagram of where water pump is. It will also give you instructions on removing and replacing it. Good luck!

    I need to take off my headlight on my 2003 outlander, How do I do this>

    To do this safely you need to remove the bumper.
    The headlight has 3 10mm bolts holding it on.
    If you remove the one vertical screw from back edge of the bumper and the plastic fasteners across the top, you can usually pull the bumper far enough away to sneak the headlamp out, just be cautious of your paint.
