Headlight Replacement
I have a MY2000 with standard (non-Xenon) headlights. My right (passenger) side low beam just blew. I know that I can take it to the dealer and get a replacement free, but is this an easy/inexpensive replacement bulb, or is it a more involved process?
I'm thinking that maybe I could just replace the bulb myself for less hassle than scheduling a dealer appointment. Any caveats?
Thanks,
JKG

It's really easy...
Just remove plastic duct, two screws and pull off the air box. Remove the cover behind the low beam by lifting on the latch, and you'll see the bulb inside held by another latch. Disconnect the wire connector, remove the latch, and pull out the bulb.
Remember not to touch the new bulb when you put it back in or you'll have to replace it again soon!
