2002 Mitsubishi Galant - How do you change a headlight bulb? From what I can see, it looks like it should just pull out of the socket along with the rubber cover, but it won't....feels like spring tension is holding it back. Am I missing a release button/catch or something? Something so simple, but yet so difficult!! Any help would be appreciated.

Has it overheated lately?
My wife overheated our Galant and it just stopped working, it cranks but that's it.
I pulled the sparkplugs and found them wrapped in a gewey jelly like substance. Like an oil/antifreeze combo.
I am going to replace the entire motor for $1000 as taking it to the mechanics to theorize and practice may cost more.

On either side of the headlight wiring assembly, in the engine compartment, you will find 2 small tabs. They are located to the sides and towards the bulb of the plastic assembly. Press these 2 tabs in while pulling the wire assembly out. Remove the rubber gasket and unhook the wire spring holding the bulb in place. The bulb come right out. The bulbs are halogen so do not handle the new bulb by the glass.

How to change headlight on 2000 galant
  • 1
    Place the Mitsubishi on a flat service in park. Set the parking brake before continuing.


    • 2Open the Galant's hood and locate the headlight cover -- roughly 3-inch wide circular piece of plastic -- behind the headlight bulb intended for replacement. Turn this cover clockwise to unlock it and pull it from the headlight assembly, exposing the headlight socket below it.


    3

    Hold the rear of the headlight socket and turn it counterclockwise to unlock it. Pull the headlight socket and bulb from the headlight assembly.


    4

    Grab the bulb and pull it from the socket with a slight wiggling motion.


    5

    Pick up the new 9003 headlight bulb using a clean, lint-free cloth and line up its prong with the slots in the socket. Never tough the bulb with your bare hands, as the oils left by your hands can cause the bulb to burn out prematurely.


    6

    Slide the socket and new bulb into the headlight assembly and turn the socket clockwise to lock it into place.


    7

    Place the plastic cover behind the bulb and turn it counterclockwise to lock it into place.


    8

    Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for the headlight bulb on the other side of the Galant, if needed.


    9Close the Galant's hood.

    Cant get the bulb out of the headlight
  • Locate the headlight socket cover inside the engine compartment. The cover is on the back of the headlight assembly; it is round and made of plastic or rubber.
  • 2 Remove the headlight socket cover by pulling it off or twisting it to the left and then pulling it off. You can see the headlight socket once the cover is removed.
  • 3 Grip the headlight socket, turn it to the left and pull it out of the assembly. The light bulb is connected to the socket.
  • 4 Pull the bulb straight out of the socket and discard it in a waste receptacle.
  • 5 Plug the replacement bulb into the socket, taking care not to touch the glass. The oils on your skin can shorten the life of the bulb if you touch the glass. Wear gloves to prevent touching the glass.
  • 6 Place the socket back into the light assembly and turn it to the right to lock it in place.
  • 7 Slide the headlight socket cover over the socket and press on it to secure it, or turn it to the right, depending on how you have removed it in Step 2.
  • 8 Repeat Steps 2 through 7 to replace the other headlight bulb.


    • please give good rateing if this helps thank you

    How to change a front headlight on a 2003 mitsubishi galant
    some models require you to remove the grill first to access the headlight mounting bolt and there is also the concern of the aim set bolt. be careful not to brake any of the hard to get to and easily breakable plastic parts or install may be more expensive than you may think. if you mean "change the bulb" simply find the electrical connector that lines up with where you can see the bulb from the outside and turn the connector a quarter turn and pull the bulb out from the rear. then remove the bulb while holding the socket firmly so as to not separate any wires. install is reverse of removal hope this helps

    Changing headlights
    The headlights for the Galant are accessed from the engine compartment. First remove the electrical connection from the rear of the headlight, It will be very stubborn. As you pull on the connector try to hold the bulb in place as its only held in place with a spring clip. Once you have managed to remove the connector remove the rubber cover. There are a couple of rubber tabs to grab on to. This will give you access to the spring clip that is actually holding the bulb in place. Push the clip in and over to the side and the bulb will be free. Installation is the opposite of the removal. The bulb has three alignment tabs that allow the bulb to be installed only one way.

    I recommend after getting the bulb in place and the rubber cover on putting a little bulb grease on the three male connectors on the bulb before you reconnect it to the female socket. It will make it much easier next time. Also remember to never touch the glass portion of the bulb. Any foreign material on the bulb will greatly shorten it's life.

    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.

    Detailed explaination on changing headlights on a 1999 mistsubish
    Your headlights are just bulbs that need to be changed from under the hood. When you open the hood and look at the back side of the headlight you will see the wires sticking out.There is a black plastic ring that you will need to twist counter clockwise about 1/4 of a turn then pull. You will end up with this ring the socket and the old bulb in your hand at this point. If you look at your new bulb (don't handle by the glass!) and compare it to the old you will be able to see how the socket comes off by pulling. Reinstall in oppisite order and you will be fine.

    How do I change a headlight lamp in a 2003 VW New Beetle Turbo?
    The headlight is actually a bulb inserted into a light module. You can remove the plastic light module by releasing the tension spring on the rear of the headliht housing inside your hood. Once the tension spring is released pull the plastic light module from the fender socket by gently pulling on the edges of the headlight. The module should pull out with some minor difficulty. Remove the bad bulb from the rear of the plastic bubble, and replace it with a new halogen bulb. Replace the module into the fender socket and reclip the tension spring(s). Not all that difficult of a job once you know how its accomplished.
